-<poem>
-Quicumque Christum quaeritis,
-oculos in altum tollite,
-illic licebit visere
-signum perennis gloriae.
-Illustre quiddam cernimus,
-quod nesciat finem pati,
-sublime, celsum, interminum,
-antiquius caelo et chao.
-Hic ille Rex est gentium
-populique Rex Judaici,
-promissus Abrahae patri
-ejusque in aevum semini.
-Hunc et prophetis testibus
-iisdemque signatoribus,
-testatur et Pater jubet
-ipsum audire et credere.
-Gloria tibi Domine,
-qui apparuisti hodie,
-cum Patre et Sancto Spiritu,
-in sempiterna saecula.
-Amen.

-<poem>
-Lift up your eyes, whoe'er ye be
-That fare the glorious Christ to see:
-For yonder is the shining sign
-Of grace perennial and divine.
-Sure 'tis the sign most reverend
-Of Being that doth know no end:
-Of One in state sublime arrayed
-Ere sky and chaos yet were made.
-This is the King of Israel,
-Of all in Gentile lands that dwell:
-The King to Abram and his seed
-Throughout all ages erst decreed.
-The prophets witnessed to the bond
-Which sealed to Him the realm profound:
-The Father's Kingdom He received
-And the vast legacy perceived.
-All glory be to you O Lord,
-Son of the Virgin, blessed Word,
-With Father and Blest Spirit One
-Until the ages’ course is done.
-Amen.

-<poem>
-Ihr alle, die ihr Christus sucht,
-erhebt Eure Augen zum Himmel -
-dort könnt ihr sehen
-das Zeichen der ewigen Herrlichkeit.
-Ganz klar erkennen wir hier jenes,
-das kein Ende kennt,
-das Erhabene, Höchste, Unendliche,
-älter als der Himmel und das Chaos.
-Dieser da ist der König der Völker
-und der König der Judäer,
-der versprochen war dem Vater Abraham
-und seinen Nachkommen auf ewig.
-Ihn haben die Propheten bezeugt,
-daß er aus eben dieser Bund,
-wie es der Stifter und Urheber befahl,
-die Macht und Herrschaft antreten sollte.
