Longe mala umbrae terrores,
Sors amara iniqua sors.

Bella plagae irae furores
Tela et arma aeterna mors.

Recitativo
 Recedite, nubes et fulgura,
 Et sereno coronata fulgore
 Coeli sidera coruscate;
 omnes animae super terram et
 super astra viventes jubilate.

Aria da capo - Largo
 Descende, o coeli vox,
 ex alto asperge nox,
 tolle maerorem.

 Resplende, o vera lux,
 es tu secura dux,
 sparge fulgorem.

Alleluia.
