Latin text
Impetum inimicorum ne timueritis.
Memores estote quomodo salvi facti sunt patres nostri
Et nunc clamemus in cœlum et miserebitur nostri Deus noster.
Memento te mirabilium eius quae fecit Pharaoni et exercitui eius
in mari Rubro.
Et nunc clamemus in cœlum et miserebitur nostri Deus noster.
English text
Fear not the onslaught of thine enemies.
Remember how our fathers were saved
And now let us shout to heaven, and may our Lord God be merciful.
Remember the miracle he performed against Pharoah and his armies
in the Red Sea.
And now let us shout to heaven, and may our Lord God be merciful.
