¶Lyrics / Text

Quid Christi captive gemis dux inclite volvens pectore quae moesto suggerit aegra caro? Vivit adhuc Christus regnator et arbiter orbis, tantum perge Deo fidere liber eris. Asserit ad dexteram patris pia iura suorum, vique suis presto est omnipotente Deus, vindice quo rabidas fauces cohibente leonum. Vir pius in media morte perire nequit.
