    Iste Conféssor Dómini sacrátus,
    Festa plebs cujus celébrat per orbem,
    Hódie lætus méruit secréta
    Scándere cæli.

    Qui pius, prudens, húmilis, pudícus,
    Sóbrius, castus fuit et quiétus,
    Vita dum præsens vegetávit ejus
    Córporis artus.

    Ob sacrum cujus túmulum frequénter
    Membra languéntum modo sanitáti,
    Quólibet morbo fúerint graváta,
    Restituúntur.

    Unde nunc noster chorus in honórem
    Ipsius, hymnum canit hunc libénter:
    Ut piis ejus méritis juvémur
    Omne per ævum.

    Sit salus illi, decus atque virtus,
    Qui supra cæli résidens cacúmen,
    Tótius mundi máchinam gubérnat
    Trinus et unus.
    Amen.

    This the confessor of the Lord, whose triumph
    Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness
    Erst on this feast-day merited to enter
    Into his glory.

    Saintly and prudent, modest in behaviour,
    Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly.
    While that life’s vigour, coursing through his members,
    Quickened his being.

    Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting,
    Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted,
    Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning,
    At his petition.

    Whence we in chorus gladly do him honour,
    Chanting his praises with devout affection,
    That in his merits we may have a portion,
    Now and forever.

    His be the glory, power and salvation,
    Who over all things reigneth in the highest,
    Earth’s mighty fabric ruling and directing,
    Onely and Trinal.
    Amen.
