Latin text Gloria, laus et honor tibi sit, Rex Christe Redemptor. Cui puerile decus prompsit hosanna pium. Israel es tu Rex, Davidis et inclyta proles: Nomine qui in Domini, Rex benedicte, venis.

English translation Glory, praise, and honor be to you, Christ, Redeemer King, To whom youthful praises cried out a devout hosanna. You are the King of Israel, the glorious offspring of David: You who come in the name of the Lord, O blessed King.
