Hymnus
Anglórum iam apóstolus, nunc angelórum sócius, ut tunc, Gregóri, géntibus, succúrre iam credéntibus.
Tu largas opum cópias omnémque mundi glóriam spernis, ut inops ínopem Iesum sequáris príncipem.
Te celsus Christus póntifex suæ præfert Ecclésiæ; sic Petri gradum pércipis, cuius et normam séqueris.

O póntifex egrégie, lux et decus Ecclésiæ, non sinas in perículis quos tot mandátis ínstruis.

The wisdom that is from above, first certes is chaste; then peaceable, modest, suasible, consenting to the good, full of mercy and good fruits, not judging, without simulation. And the fruit of justice, in peace is sowed, to them that make peace.
