Lyrics: 

Ipse tibi, quaesumus, Domine sancte, Pater omnipotens, aeterne Deus, sacrificium nostrum reddat acceptum, qui discipulis suis in sui commemorationem hoc fieri hodierna traditione monstravit, Jesus Christus Filius tuus Dominus noster: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitate spiritus Deus....

Translated Lyrics: 

We beseech Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God, that He Himself may render our Sacrifice acceptable to Thee, Who, by the tradition of today, taught His disciples to do this in remembrance of Him, Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, who with Thee liveth and reigneth . . .
