Text

Primo tempore alleviata est terra Zabulon et terra Neptalim
Et novissimo agravata est via maris trans Jordanem Galilee gencium.
Populus gencium qui ambulabat in tenebris vidit lucem magnam.
Habitantibus in regione umbre mortis lux orta est eis.
Multiplicasti gentem non magnificasti leticiam.
Hec dicit dominus deus convertimini ad me et salvi eritis
