Deus tuorum militum
Sors et corona, praemium
Laudes canentes Martyris
Absolve nexu criminis

Hic nempe mundi gaudia
Et blanda fraudum pabula
Imbuta felle deputans,
Pervenit ad caelestia

Poenas cucurrit fortiter
Et sustulit viriliter
Fundensque pro te sanguinem
Aeterna dona possidet.

Ob hoc precatu supplici
Te poscimus piissime
In hoc triumpho Martyris
Dimitte noxam servulis

Laus et perennis gloria
Patri sit atque Filio
Sancto simul Paraclito
In sempiterna saecula. Amen

O God, the allotted
crown and the prize of your soldiers.
We sing the praises of your martyr,
Absolve us from the chains of sin,

She/He considered the joys
and temptations of the world
to be empty,
thus came to heaven.

Bravely he/she ran the way of torture
and suffered courageously,
and pouring out his/her blood for you,
(now) possesses eternal gifts.

Thus we beseech you in suppliant prayers
O most loving one;
That on your martyr's day of triumph,,
You should forgive your servant’s sins.

Praise and continual glory be given
to God, the Father and Son,
likewise the Holy Spirit
to eternal ages. Amen
