In turbato mare irato
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  FRE GER
In turbato mare irato
naufragatur alma pax.

Cito splende, ah splende, o cara,
in procella tam amara,
suspirata coeli fax.

Splende serena, o lux amata,
nam mersa in mille poenis
languet anima mea.
Stricta mille catenis
in pelago voraci
iam submersa spirat,
sed contemplando te laeta respirat.

Resplende, bella,
divina stella,
et non timebo
mortis horrores

tam cara face
gaudendo in pace,
si contemplabor vos,
cari fulgores.

Alleluia.
