Aria da capo - Allegretto
O qui coeli terraeque serenitas
et fons lucis et arbiter es,
Unde regis aeterna tua sidera
mitis considera
nostra vota, clamores et spes.
Recitativo
Fac ut sordescat tellus
dum respicimus coelum;
fac ut bona superna
constanter diligamus
et sperantes aeterna
quidquid caducum
est odio habeamus.
Aria da capo - Largo
Rosa quae moritur,
unda quae labitur,
mundi delicias
docent fugaces.
Vix fronte amabili
mulcent cum labili
pede praetervolant
larvae fallaces.
Alleluia - Allegro

O toi qui du ciel et de la terre es la paix
Language: French (Français) after the Latin
Aria da capo - Allegretto
O toi qui du ciel et de la terre es la paix
et la source de la lumière et le maître.
D'où tu règnes sur tes étoiles éternelles
regarde avec indulgence
nos vœux, nos cris et nos espoirs.
Recitativo
Fais que la terre se salisse
pendant que nous regardons le ciel ;
fais que les biens d'en haut
nous les aimions avec constance
et qu'en espérant l'éternité
nous ayons en haine
ce qui est périssable.
Aria da capo - Largo
La rose qui meurt
et l'onde qui coule,
enseignent que les délices du monde
sont fugaces.
Difficilement sous un air aimable
ils charment, d'un pied
qui glisse ils passent,
spectres trompeurs.
Alléluia.
