Original text and translations

Latin text

Angeli, archangeli, throni, dominationes,
principatus, potestates, virtutes,
cherubim atque seraphim,
patriarchae, prophetae,
sancti legis doctores,
apostoli, omnes Christi martyres,
sancti confessores, virgines Domini,
anachoritae, sanctique omnes,
intercedite pro nobis.

Vidi turbam magnam
quam dinumererare nemo poterat
stantes ante thronum
et in conspectu agni amicti stolis albis
et palmae in manibus eorum
et clamabant voce magna dicentes:
salus Deo nostro
qui sedet super throno et agno.
