Aeterna Christi munera et martyrum victoria laudes canentes debitas laetis canamus mentibus | Terrore victo saeculi poenisque spretis corporis mortis sacrae compendio vitam beatam possident | Traduntur igni martyres et bestiarum dentibus armata saevit ungulis tortoris insani manus | Nudata pendent viscera sanguis sacratus funditur sed permanent immobilis vitae perennis gratia | In his paterna gloria in his voluntas spiritus exsultat in his filius caelum repletur gaudio | Te nunc redemptor quaesumus ut martyrum consortio jungas precantes servulos in sempiterna saecula
