Lyrics: Acts 2: 1-4,7,8

Dum complerentur dies Pentecostes, erant omnes unanimiter in eodem loco:
et factus est repente de cœlo sonus, tanquam advenientis spiritus vehementis, et replevit totam domum ubi erant sedentes.
Et apparuerunt illis dispertitæ linguæ tanquam ignis, seditque supra singulos eorum:
et repleti sunt omnes Spiritu Sancto, et coeperunt loqui variis linguis, prout Spiritus Sanctus dabat eloqui illis.
Stupebant autem omnes, et mirabantur, dicentes: Nonne ecce omnes illi qui loquuntur, Galilæi sunt?
Quomodo nos audivimus unusquisque linguam nostram in qua nati sumus?

When the day of Pentecost was come, they were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a rushing and mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they sat.
And there appeared unto them cloven tongues, like fire, and it sat upon each of them.
And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
And they wondered all, and marvelled, saying among themselves: Behold, are not all these which speak, of Galilee?
How then hear we every man our own language, wherein we were born?
