Lyrics:

Canite tuba in Sion, quia prope est dies Domini: ecce venit ad salvandum nos. Erunt prava in dierecta, et a spera in vias planas: veni, veni Domine, et noli tardare. Alleluia.

Sound the trumpet in Sion, for the day of the Lord is near. See, he is coming to save us. Winding paths will be made straight and rough places smooth. Come, O Lord, and do not delay. Alleluia.
