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.
