Original text and translations

Latin text

1. Zachæus arboris ascendit stipitem,
ut Iesum cerneret coelorum hospitem.

2. Zachæus Iesum suscipit hospitio,
Et caritatis pertractans officio.

3. Illic perpendens cordis habitaculum,
Si quenquam defraudavi, reddam quadruplum.

4. Dimidium bonorum do pauperibus,
Placatur Deus talibus muneribus.

5. Et nos de tali laetantes convivio,
Benedicamus Dominorum Domino.

6. Tibi nunc quoquae Christe qui nos satias,
Semper dicamus gratiarum gratias.
