Original text and translations

Latin text Visita quæsumus Domine, habitationem istam, et omnes insidias inimici ab ea longe repelle: angeli tui sancti habitent in ea, qui nos in pace custodiant: et benedictio tua sit super nos semper. Per Christum Dominum nostrum. Amen.

English translation Visit, we beseech Thee, O Lord, this dwelling, and drive from it all snares of the enemy: let Thy holy Angels dwell herein, to keep us in peace: and let Thy blessing be always upon us. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
