Ex Sion species decoris ejus, Deus manifeste veniet.
Congregate illi sanctos ejus,
qui ordinaverunt testamentum ejus super sacrificia.
Laetatus sum in his, quae dicta sunt mihi, alleluja,
in domum Domini ibimus, alleluja.

English translation:
From Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.
May our God come and not be deaf to us!
Gather my faithful ones before me,
those who have made a covenant with me by sacrifice.
I rejoiced when they said to me, alleluia,
We will go up to the house of the Lord, alleluia.
