Text:

Benigne fac Domine in bona voluntate tua Sion,
Ut aedificentus muri Jerusalem.
Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae,
Oblationes et holocaustos.
Tunc imponent super altare tuum vitulos.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper,
Et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Translation:

Grant kindness, Lord, to Zion according to your will,
that the walls of Jerusalem may be rebuilt.
Then you will accept a just sacrifice,
oblations and the burnt offerings,
then they will place bullocks upon your altar.
Glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now,
and will always be. Amen.
