Hymnus
Tellúris ingens cónditor, mundi solum qui éruens, pulsis aquæ moléstiis, terram dedísti immóbilem,
Ut germen aptum próferens, fulvis decóra flóribus, fecúnda fructu sísteret pastúmque gratum rédderet:
Mentis perústæ vúlnera munda viróre grátiæ, ut facta fletu díluat motúsque pravos átterat,
Iussis tuis obtémperet, nullis malis appróximet, bonis repléri gáudeat et mortis actum nésciat.
Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, cum Spíritu Paráclito regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.
