Original text and translations

Latin text

Ecce carissimi dies illa iudicii magna et terribilis instat.
Praetereunt dies nostri, et velociter advenit praeclarus adventus Domini.
Iam crebro sono nos hortatur et dicit,
priusquam ostium Paradisi claudatur,
unusquisque vestrum cito properet,
ut introiens in aeter num cum Domino regnet.

Praeparate vosmet ipsos,
ut videatis immortalem sponsum et possideatis regna caelorum.

Ecce mater nostra Jerusalem cum magno affectu clamat ad nos et dicit,
Venite, filii me i dilectissimi, venite ad me;
