Sir 31:8-9
Beátus vir, qui invéntus est sine mácula, et qui post aurum non ábiit, nec sperávit in pecúnia et thesáuris. Quis est hic, et laudábimus eum? fecit enim mirabília in vita sua.
℟ Deo grátias.
Gentis Polónæ glória,
Cleríque splendor nóbilis,
Decus Lycǽi, et pátriæ
Pater, Ioánnes ínclite.
Legem supérni Núminis
Doces magíster, et facis.
Nil scire prodest: sédulo
Legem nitámur éxsequi.
Apostolórum límina
Pedes viátor vísitas;
Ad pátriam, ad quam téndimus,
Gressus viámque dírige.
Urbem petis Ierúsalem:
Signáta sacra Sánguine
Christi colis vestígia
Rigásque fusis flétibus.
Acérba Christi vúlnera,
Hæréte nostris córdibus,
Ut cogitémus cónsequi
Redemptiónis prétium.
Te prona mundi máchina,
Clemens, adoret, Trínitas,
Et nos novi per grátiam
Novum canámus cánticum.

Sir 31:8-9
Blessed is the man who is found to be without blemish. And blessed is he who has not gone after gold, nor placed his hope in money or treasures. Who is he? For we should praise him. For he has done wonderful things in his life.
℟ Thanks be to God.
O glory of the Polish race,
O splendour of the priestly band,
Whose lore did thy lyceum grace,
John, father of the fatherland.
The law of the supernal will
Thou teachest both in word and deed;
Knowledge is naught—we must fulfill
In works, not barren words, our creed!
On foot to apostolic Rome
Thy pilgrim spirit joyful hied;
Oh, to our everlasting home
The path declare, the footstep guide!
Again, in Sion's holy street,
Anew thou wet'st with tearful flood
The pathway of the Saviour's feet
Erst wet with His redeeming blood.
O sweet and bitter wounds of Christ,
Deep in our hearts imprinted stay,
That the blest fruit the sacrificed
Redeemer gained, be ours for aye!
Then let the world obeisance due
Perform, O God, to Thy high Will;
And let our souls, by grace made new,
Sing to Thee a new canticle!
Amen.
℣ The Lord led the just man by the right ways.
℟ And revealed to him the kingdom of God.
