Hymnus
Custódes hóminum psállimus ángelos, natúræ frágili quos Pater áddidit cæléstis cómites, insidiántibus ne succúmberet hóstibus.
Nam quod corrúerit próditor ángelus, concéssis mérito pulsus honóribus, ardens invídia péllere nítitur quos cælo Deus ádvocat.
Huc, custos, ígitur pérvigil ádvola, avértens pátria de tibi crédita tam morbos ánimi quam requiéscere quicquid non sinit íncolas.
Sanctæ sit Tríadi laus pia iúgiter, cuius perpétuo númine máchina triplex hæc régitur, cuius in ómnia regnat glória sǽcula. Amen.
