Summe Astrorum Creator
Language: Latin
Summe Astrorum Creator, Qui de nihilo jam cuncta eduxisti, Et tibi ut servi essemus Ad imaginem tuam tu nos fecisti, Clemens in Caelo Pater, Potens in Mundo Deus, Qui Jaheli victrici, Qui Deborae pugnanti vim dedisti, Adiuva nos in prece, et culpas tolle, Et de forti tua dextra Imbelli dextrae meae robur extolle.
