- Qui magna rerum córpora,
dictu iubéntis vívida,
ut sérviant per órdinem
subdens dedísti hómini:
- Repélle a servis tuis
quicquid per immunditiam
aut móribus se súggerit,
aut áctibus se intérserit.
- Da gaudiórum prǽmia,
da gratiárum múnera;
dissólve litis víncula,
astrínge pacis foedera.
- Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
cum Spíritu Paráclito
regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.

- You placed under man’s dominion
the great bodies of creation,
decreeing with vivid speech
that they should serve in their place:
- Drive far from your servants
anything which through impurity
might either suggest itself to our customs,
or add itself to our actions.
- Grant us the rewards of joy,
grant the gifts of grace;
shatter the chains of quarrelsomeness,
tighten the bonds of peace.
- Grant this, most blessed Father,
and Sole-begotten, equal to the Father,
reigning through every age
with the Spirit Paraclete. Amen.
