Original text and translations

The entire song is a motet of Matthew 25:21:

Latin text

Serve bone et fidelis,
quia in pauca fuisti,
fidelis, fuisti fidelis,
supra multa te constituam,
constituam: intra, intra
in gaudium Domini,
in gaudium, in gaudium
Domini Dei tui.

English translation

Good and faithful servant,
because you have been faithful with a few things
I will set you over many things.
Enter into the joy of the Lord your God.
