Ita decreto aeterno

Language: Latin

Ita decreto aeterno 
Veneti Maris Urbem 
Inviolatam discerno, 
Sic in Asia Holoferni impio tiranno 
Urbs Virgo gratia Dei semper munita 
Erit nova Juditha, 
Et pro popolo suo Pastor orabit, 
Et fidelis Ozias 
Veram Bethuliae suae fidem servabit. 
Eja Virgines Sion 
Festinate cum gloria 
In sperata victoria 
Et pietatis in sinu 
Cum Psalterio sonanti 
Applaudite Judithae Triumphanti.
