1. Salve Fundator, Pater et Magister!
Salve Iohannes! magnum qui beati
Cor et Philippi Anglis ostendisti
Primus, et mentem.
Hail, Founder, Father and Master! Hail John, who were the first to show the great Heart of blessed Philip to the English, and St. Philip’s mind.

Ex tenebrarum umbris et errore
Ducemque fecit civibus permultis
Ad veritatem.
Hail! God’s kindly light guided you from the shadows and error of darkness and made you the guide to truth for many of your countrymen.
3. Salve! Qui dogma datum Christianis
Inter doctores doctior et ipse
Traditum semper integrumque sensu
Pandis eodem.
Hail! Among teachers yourself more learned, you reveal that the teaching given to Christians is ever handed on whole and in the same sense.
4. Salve! Cui custos unius ovilis
Apostolorum fidei concessit
Pignus et signum roseum galerum
Martyriique.
Hail! To whom the guardian of the one sheepfold granted the blood-red hat, sign and pledge of Apostolic Faith and of martyrdom.
5. Salve Fundator! Nobis intercessor
Sis ad aeternam Triadem, precamur,
Cuncta cui dignas resonent per orbem
Saecula laudes. Amen.
Hail, Founder! We pray that you be our intercessor with the eternal Trinity, to Whom may all the ages sound worthy praises throughout the world. Amen.
