Translation that used the tune from this hymn is Toll! Toll! Because There Ends To-night, John Mason Neale and Thomas Helmore, eds., Carols for Christmas-tide (London: Novello, 1853), from Piae Cantiones, 1582. These words, however, are an original composition by Rev. Neale.

1. Psallat scholarum contio
In hoc convivio,
Sed Mariae filio
Non sit oblivio,
Nam is dat solacia
Sua bona gratia
Studentibus in trivio.

2. Extinxit ignem sceleris
Hic dator gratiae,
Exstans fructus foederis
ln orbis acie.
Per quem regnant reguli
Super orbem saeculi
Cuncti in terrae facie.

3. Totius orci saeviit
Saevi potentia,
Dum puella genuit
Dei clementia,
Mundus quidem aruit,
Sed iam virens claruit
Et eius simul entia.

4. Respexit nos diluculo.
Qui ardet fulmine,
Caritatis oculo,
A caeli culmine
Venit huc, ut solveret,
Quos aestus involveret,
Christus suo fulcimine.

5. Venite ergo lilii
Hunc florem legere,
Ut nos partus filii
Possit protegere;
Hunc omnis laicitas
Oret et clericitas,
Ut det nos secum regere.

6. Seraphin laudes concinunt
Caeli palatio,
Christo Iesu iubilent.
Quos regit ratio,
Hunc omnis deifice
Collaudet mirifice
Triplatae vitae statio.
