Original text and translations

Latin text Rorate coeli desuper, et nubes pluant iustum: aperiatur terra, et germinet Salvatorem. Coeli enarrant gloriam Dei: et opera manuum eius annuntiat firmamentum.

English translation Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above, and let the clouds rain the Just: let the earth be opened and bud forth a Saviour. The heavens show forth the glory of God: and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
