Venite populi terrae,
et videte opera Dei.
Exultate gaudio et laetitia,
quia fecit Deus prodigia sua magna,
auferens bella usque ad finem terrae
Ecce principes terrae convenerunt in unum
et civitas pacem conduce suo,
incedit obviam eis.
Juvenes et virgines,
senes cum junioribus,
cantate canticum novum,
psal-li-te in jubilatione.
Ave Caesar,
ave majestas sacra,
plena est terra gloria tua, gloria tua.
benedicta acta Dei in secula.
Amen.
