Latinam Rerum, Deus, fons omnium, qui, rebus actis omnibus, totius orbis ambitum censu replesti munerum, Ac, mole tanta condita, tandem quietem diceris sumpsisse, dans laboribus ut nos levemur gratius: Concede nunc mortalibus deflere vitae crimina, instare iam virtutibus et munerari prosperis, Ut cum tremendi iudicis horror supremus coeperit, laetemur omnes invicem pacis repleti munere. Praesta, Pater piissime, Patrique compar Unice, cum Spiritu Paraclito regnans per omne saeculum. Amen.

English O God, source of all things, Who, with all things having been conducted, the extent of all the world you filled with a wealth of gifts, And, with such a large mass having been founded, At length you are said to have taken rest, granting in labors that we thankfully may be relieved: Grant now to mortals to mourn the sins of life, to pursue even now virtues and to be rewarded with prosperous things, So that when the supreme dread of the tremendous judge shall have begun, we all may rejoice in turn to be filled with the gift of peace. Supply (this), O Father most devout, and the Sole equal to the Father, with the Spirit Advocate reigning through every age. Amen.
