Latin text
Siderum rector, Deus alme, nostris,
parce iam culpis, vitia remittens:
Quo tibi puri resonemus almum
pectoris hymnum.
Gloria Patri genitoque Proli,
et tibi, compar utriusque semper,
Spiritus alme.
Deus unus omni tempore. Amen.
English translation
Ruler of the stars, our kindly God,
Spare now our wrongs, forgive our faults,
So that we may make resound to you
From pure hearts a gracious hymn.
Glory be to the Father and to his begotten Son,
And to thee, forever equal to both,
Gracious Spirit, one God of all,
For evermore, Amen.
