Christ, kindly dweller of the heavens, life of the saints, way, hope, and salvation, the sacrifice, O merciful one, which we offer to thee, receive with praise. / The choir of all the angels always blesses you in heaven on high, and also all the saints together with praises. / By the merits of the Virgin Mary and likewise of all of the pious, hold back the punishment, O merciful one, which we deserve. / We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, who art, and who wast, and who art to come. / Here grant celebrating thy praise, that, being faithful to thee, we may be able to continue it in heaven, continually singing hymns to the Trinity.

- Hymn from the Office of Readings for the Solemnity of All Saints, and part of its Responsory (Revelation 11:17)
