Latin text
O virum ineffabilem,
Nec laborem victum,
O virum ineffabilem,
Nec morte vincendum,
Qui nec mori timuit
Nec vivere recusavit.
Oculis et manibus
In coelum semper intentus:
Invictum ab oratione,
Spiritum non relaxabat.
O virum ineffabilem,
In coelum semper intentus:
Martinus, Abrahae sinu laetus excipitur,
Hic pauper modicus, coelum dives ingreditur,
Hymnis coeles tibus honoratur.
Aleluia!
