Jucunda vox Eccesiae
Agustini memoriam 
exaltet cum laetitia 
ad magnam Dei gloriam.
O pontifex sanctissime, 
lumen doctorum,
decus Ecclesiae, 
amator divi amoris,
speculum devotionis,
quam admirabile est nomen tuum 
in universa terra.
Propter ea, 
ille satis non te laudant
qui te dicunt Augustinum, 
sed verius te predicat augustissimum. 
Toto resonet in orbe
suavi melodia, 
Augustini confesoris 
laudes et proeconia,
qui triunphat coronatus
immortali gloria.

Composition:

    Set to music by François Couperin (1668 - 1733), "Élévations: Jucunda vox Ecclesiae", alternate title: "Motet de Saint Augustin" [ chorus ], motet
