Original text and translations

Latin text

Lætare sancta mater ecclesia,
quia salvator tuus doctorem strenuum
de servitute Babylonis tibi redemit Augustinum,
qui Fortunatum Manichæorum
versutia plurimos seducentem
in conventu omnium disputans publice superavit.

Augustine, lux doctorum, fundamentum ecclesiæ,
malleus hæreticorum, summum vas scientiæ,
pro tuis fidelibus roga Deum quæsumus
