O Willelme pastor bone
Cleri pater et patrone
Mundi nobis in agone
Confer opem et depone
Vite sordes et corone
Celestis da gaudia

Cleri fautor et patrone
Semper nobis in agone
Confer opem et depone
Vite sordes et corone

Christe Jesu pastor bone
Mediator et patrone
Mundi nobis in agone
Confer opem et depone
Vite sordes et corone.
