Original text and translations

Latin text

1. Altitudo, quid hic jaces
Intam vilistbulo?
!ui creasti coeli faces,
Alges in praesepio:
Tam ardenter, quem amasti,
Paradiso exulem,
Paradiso exulem.
Alleluia.

2. Fortitudo infirmatur,
Parva fit immensitas,
Laboratur, alligatur,
Nascitur etternitas.
Tam ardenter, quem amasti,
Paradiso exulem,
Paradiso exulem.
Alleluia.

3. Premis ubera labellis,
Sed intactae Virginis,
Ploras uvidis ocellis,
Coelum replens gaudiis.
Tam ardenter, quem amasti,
Paradiso exulem,
Paradiso exulem.
Alleluia.
