Latin text

Venit Michael archangelus cum multitudine angelorum;
cui tradidit Deus animas sanctorum,
ut perducat eas in paradisum exultationis.

German translation

Der Erzengel Michael kam mit einer Vielzahl von Engeln;
ihm hat Gott die Seelen der Heiligen übergeben,
damit er sie in das Paradies des Frohlockens geleite.
