Latin text
Desiderium animae eius tribuisti ei Domine,
et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum.
Quoniam praevenisti eum in benedictionibus dulcedinis:
posuisti in capite eius coronam de lapide pretioso.
et voluntate labiorum eius non fraudasti eum.
English translation
Thou hast given him the desire of his soul, O Lord,
And the longing of his lips will not withheld from him.
For Thou hast gone before him with blessings of sweetness:
Thou hast set on his head a crown of precious stones.
And the longing of his lips will not withheld from him.
