Text and translations

Latin text Impetum inimicorum ne timueritis. Memores estote quomodo salvi facti sunt patres nostri [Memento te mirabilium eius quae fecit Pharaoni et exercitui eius] in mari Rubro. Et nunc clamemus in cœlum et miserebitur nostri Deus noster.

English translation Fear not the onslaught of thine enemies. Remember how our fathers were saved [Remember the miracle he performed against Pharoah and his armies] in the Red Sea. And now let us shout to heaven, and may our Lord God be merciful. (Trans. Timmi O'Danaos & Donna Ferrentes)
