Original text and translations

Latin text

Egregie Christi martir Christophore suscipe preces nostras.
Precare Dominum pro excessibus nostris
quos nimium comprimunt vincula delictorum.

Ecce enim festus est nobis hodie dies beati Christophori
quem Dominus Jhesus Christus et regni caelestis gaudiis
cum triumpho introivit feliciter.

Ora pro nobis beate martir Christophore,
alleluya,
ut digni efficiamur promissione Christi
alleluya.
