Crux fidelis


Crux fidelis inter omnes arbor una nobilis:

nulla silva talem profert fronde, flore, germine.

Dulce lignum, dulces clavos, dulce pondus sustinet.

Pange lingua gloriosi lauream certaminis,

et super vía trophæo dic triumphum nobilem:

qualiter Redemptor orbis immolatus vicerit.

......

Sempiterna sit beatæ Trinitati gloria;

aequa Patri Filioque, par decus Paraclito;

unius Trinique nomen laudet universitas.

Amen
