Text

Laus Trinitati, que sonus et vita

ac creatrix omnium in vita ipsorum est,

et que laus angelice turbe

et mirus splendor archanorum,

que hominibus ignota sunt, est,

et que in omnibus vita est.

Translation:

Praise to the Trinity—the sound and life

and creativity of all within their life,

the praise of the angelic host

and wondrous, brilliant splendor hid,

unknown to human minds, it is,

and life within all things.
