    Magnæ Deus poténtiæ,
    Qui ex aquis ortum genus
    Partim remíttis gúrgiti,
    Partim levas in áëra.

    Demérsa lymphis ímprimens,
    Subvécta cælis írrigans:
    Ut stirpe ab una pródita,
    Divérsa rápiant loca:

    Largíre cunctis sérvulis,
    Quos mundat unda Sánguinis,
    Nescíre lapsus críminum,
    Nec ferre mortis tǽdium.

    Ut culpa nullum déprimat:
    Nullum levet jactántia:
    Elísa mens ne cóncidat:
    Eláta mens ne córruat.

    Præsta, Pater piíssime,
    Patríque compar Únice,
    Cum Spíritu Paráclito
    Regnans per omne sǽculum.
    Amen.

    O sovereign Lord of nature's might,
    Who bad'st the water's birth divide;
    Part in the heavens to take their flight,
    And part in ocean's deep to hide;

    These low obscured, on airy wing
    Exalted those, that either race,
    Though from one element they spring,
    Might serve thee in a different place.

    Grant, Lord, that we thy servants all,
    Saved by thy tide of cleansing blood,
    No more 'neath sin's dominion fall,
    Nor fear the thought of death's dark flood!

    Thy varied love each spirit bless,
    The humble cheer, the high control;
    Check in each heart its proud excess,
    But raise the meek and contrite soul!

    This boon, O Father, we entreat,
    This blessing grant, Eternal Son,
    And Holy Ghost, the Paraclete,
    Both now, and while the ages run.
    Amen.
