Caelos ascendit hodie
Jesus Christus Rex gloriae,
Sedet ad Patris dexteram,
Gubernat caelum et terram. Alleluia.
Iam finem habent omnia,
Patris Davidis carmina,
Iam Dominus cum Domino,
Sedet in Dei solio. Alleluia.
In hoc triumpho maximo
Benedicamus Domino.
Laudatur Sancta Trinitas.
Deo dicamus gratias. Alleluia. Amen.
