Implénte munus débitum Ioánne, rerum cónditor Iordáne mersus hac die aquam lavándo díluit,
Non ipse mundári volens de ventre natus Vírginis, peccáta sed mortálium suo lavácro tóllere.
Dicénte Patre quod «meus diléctus hic est Fílius», suménte Sancto Spíritu formam colúmbæ cælitus.
Hoc mystico sub nómine micat salus Ecclésiæ; Persóna trina cómmanet unus Deus per ómnia.
O Christe, vita, véritas, tibi sit omnis glória, quem Patris atque Spíritus splendor revélat cælitus. Amen.
