Original Latin text

Aria da capo - Allegretto
O qui coeli terraeque serenitas
et fons lucis et arbiter es,

Unde regis aeterna tua sidera
mitis considera
nostra vota, clamores et spes.

Recitativo
Fac ut sordescat tellus
dum respicimus coelum;
fac ut bona superna
constanter diligamus
et sperantes aeterna
quidquid caducum
est odio habeamus.

Aria da capo - Largo
Rosa quae moritur,
unda quae labitur,
mundi delicias
docent fugaces.

Vix fronte amabili
mulcent cum labili
pede praetervolant
larvae fallaces.

Alleluia.
