Hymnus
Deus, tuórum mílitum sors et coróna, præmium, laudes canéntes mártyris absólve nexu críminis.
Hic (Hæc) testis ore prótulit quod cordis arca crédidit, Christum sequéndo répperit effusióne sánguinis.
Hic (Hæc) nempe mundi gáudia et blandiménta nóxia cadúca rite députans, pervénit ad cæléstia.
Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter et sústulit viríliter; pro te refúndens sánguinem, ætérna dona póssidet.
Ob hoc precátu súpplici te póscimus, piíssime; in hoc triúmpho mártyris dimítte noxam sérvulis.
Ut consequámur múneris ipsíus et consórtia, lætémur ac perénniter iuncti polórum sédibus.
Laus et perénnis glória tibi, Pater, cum Fílio, Sancto simul Paráclito in sæculórum sǽcula. Amen.
