Telluris ingens Conditor,
mundi solum qui eruens,
pulsis aquae molestiis,
terram dedisti immobilem,
Ut germen aptum proferens,
fulvis decora floribus,
fecunda fructu sisteret
pastumque gratum redderet:
Mentis perustae vulnera
munda virore gratiae,
ut facta fletu diluat,
motusque pravos atterat,
Iussis tuis obtemperet,
nullis malis approximet,
bonis repleri gaudeat,
et mortis actum nesciat.
Praesta, Pater piissime,
Patrique compar Unice,
cum Spiritu Paraclito
regnans per omne saeculum.
Amen.
