¶Lyrics / Text

O sanctum virum, decus sacerdotum, cuius anima felix vernat in gloria, unde laetantur prophetae, decorantur martyres, virginum turba resultat, quem chorus caelestis immitat dicens: mane nobiscum in aeternum. Sancte Trinitas fidem Martinus confessus est: ego signo crucis non clipeo protectus aut galea hostium cunctos penetrabo securus. Sancte Martine, confessor Domini gloriose, adesto precibus nostris pius et propitius. Alleluya.
