Latin text
O orzchis Ecclesia,
ar mis divinis præcincta,
et hyazintho ornata,
tu es caldemia stigmatum loifolum
et urbs scientiarum.
O, o, tu es etiam crizanta in alto sono
et es chorzta gemma.
English translation
O vast Church,
girded with divine ar ms,
and adorned with hyacinths,
you are the fragrance of the wounds of peoples
and the city of knowledge.
O, o, you are indeed anointed with a lofty sound,
and you are a sparkling gem.
Italian translation
O immensa Chiesa,
cinta dalle braccia divine,
e ornata di giacinto,
tu sei il balsamo delle ferite delle genti
e la città della sapienza.
O, o, tu sei consacrata nell'alto suono,
e sei una gemma splendente.
