Splendor paternae gloriae de luce lucem proferens lux lucis et fons luminis diem dies illuminans | Verusque sol illabere micans nitore perpeti jubarque sancti spiritus infunde nostris sensibus | Votis vocemus et patrem patrem perennis gloriae patrem potentis gratiae culpam releget lubricam | Informet actus strenuos dentem retundat invidi casus secundet asperos donet gerendi gratiam | Mentem gubernet et regat casto fideli corpore fides calore ferveat fraudis venena nesciat | Christusque nobis sit cibus potusque noster sit fides laeti bibamus sobriam ebrietatem spiritus | Laetus dies hic transeat pudor sit ut diluculum fides velut meridies crepusculum mens nesciat | Aurora cursus provehit aurora totus prodeat in patre totus filius et totus in verbo pater
