1.O amor quam extaticus,
    Quam effluens, quam nimius,
Qui Deum Dei Filiam
Unum fecit mortalium!

2. Non invisit nos angelo,
Seu supremo seu infimo;
Carnis assumens pallium
Vetit ad nos per se ipsum.

3. Non solum se oftendere
Voluit, sed convivere,
Deus-Homo hominibus
Hic annis triginta tribus.

4. Nobis baptisma suscipit,
Nobis jejunans esurit,
Nobis et Satan hunc tentat,
Nobis tentantem superat.

5. Nobis orat et prædicat,
Pro nobis cuncta factitat,
Verbis, signis, et actibus,
Nos quærens, non se, penitus.

6. Pro nobis comprehenditur,
Flagellatur, conspuitur,
Crucis perfert patibulum,
Pro nobis tradit spiritum.

7. Nobis surgit a mortuis,
Nobis se transfert superis,
Nobis suum dat Spiritum
In robur, in solatium.

8. Gloria tibi, Domine,
Qui natus es de Virgine,
Cum Patre et sancto Spiritu,
In sempiterna sæcula. Amen.
