l. Hymnum novæ lætitiæ,
Dulci productum cantico,
Noster depromat hodie
Chorus sancto Dominico.
2. Vergente mundi vespere,
Novum sidus exoritur,
clausis culpæ carcere
ræco salutis mittitur.
3. Doctrinam evangelicam
Spargens per orbis cardinem,
Pestem fugat hæreticam
Novum producens Ordinem.
4. Hic est fons ille modicus
Crescens in flumen maximum,
Qui mundo jam mirificus
Potum largitur optimum.
5.Trino Deo et simplici
Laus, honor, virtus, gloria,
Qui nos prece Dominici
Ducat ad cæli gaudia.
Come, let our choir, this happy day,
Prolong its sweet, melodious lay:
And hymns of new-felt joy proclaim
The praise of Dominic's great name.
The world at its dim vespertide
This brightly glittering star descried,
Herald of freedom's light uprisen
To souls detained in sin's dark prison.
He spreads abroad the Gospel sound,
Even to earth's remotest bound,
And with his new-formed ranks subdued
And banished heresy's false brood.
He was the well-spring from whose tide
Swelled the rich river, deep and wide,
A living flood still rolling forth
Its healing waters through the earth.
Unto the sacred One and Three
Praise, honor, strength and glory be:
And may He grant our souls to rise,
Through Dominic's pleading, to the skies.
