Isti sunt triumphatores et amici Dei,
qui contemnentes jussa principum
meruerunt praemia aeterna:
modo coronantur et accipiunt palmam.

Isti sunt qui venerunt ex magna tribulatione
et laverunt stolas suas in sanguine Agni:
modo coronantur et accipiunt palmam.

These are the victors and friends of God
who, disdaining the rule of princes,
earned eternal rewards:
thus they are crowned and receive the palm.

These are they who came out of great tribulation
and have washed their robes in the blood of the Lamb:
thus they are crowned and receive the palm.
