Latin text

Incolae terrarum, ab ortu solis ultimum ad cubile eia Domino psallite, eia Domino iubilate.
Nomen eius ferte in astra laudibus. Dicite Deo: Rector orbis sancte, quam stupenda rerum est tuarum gloria!
Quanta virtus, qua protervos mente fracta cogit hostes supplices procumbere.
Te parentem laeta honoret tota rerum machina.
Voce te blanda canamus, barbito dulci sonemus, carminumque cantibus.
