This hymn is used for Lauds on the Solemnity of Christ the King in the Extraordinary Form.

拉丁文 英文 中文
Vexilla Christus inclyta
Late triumphans explicat:
Gentes adeste supplices,
Regique regum plaudite.		 Now Christ unfurls, in triumph high,
His glorious banner to the sky:
Ye suppliant nations, kneel and praise
The King of kings with joyful lays.		 一、基督如今凱旋得勝，榮耀旌旗高展穹蒼；
萬邦前來屈膝敬拜，歡歌頌揚萬王之王。
Non ille regna cladibus,
Non vi metuque subdidit:
Alto levatus stipite,
Amore traxit omnia.		 He hath not won his kingdom here
By devastation, force, or fear;
But on the Cross uplifted high
By love alone draws all men nigh.		 二、主非藉著毀壞得國，亦非倚靠強力威嚇；
惟在十架高高舉起，單憑慈愛吸引萬民。
O ter beata civitas
Cui rite Christus imperat,
Quæ jussa pergit exsequi
Edicta mundo cælitus!		 Now trebly blessèd is the land
Obedient unto Christ’s command,
Which urges laws that prove the worth
Of heavenly edicts here on earth!		 三、此邦順服基督命令，何等有福三倍蒙恩；
推行律法彰明天旨，使其美善昭著於地。
Non arma flagrant impia,
Pax usque firmat fœdera,
Arridet et concordia,
Tutus stat ordo civicus.		 No armed rebellion kindles there,
Peace strengthens union everywhere,
And concord smiles; upon all sides,
The civil order safe abides.		 四、此邦不見兵戈叛亂，和平使眾聯合益堅；
和睦歡欣洋溢四方，邦國綱紀穩固安然。
Servat fides connubia,
Juventa pubet integra,
Pudica florent limina
Domesticis virtutibus.		 There married faith is kept secure;
There ripening youth is ever pure;
And modest households flourish, fair
With sweet and homely virtues, there.		 五、夫婦忠貞婚盟永固，少年長成清潔自守；
家室端莊日益興盛，居家美德溫厚可親。
Optata nobis splendeat
Lux ista, Rex dulcissime:
Te, pace adepta candida,
Adoret orbis subditus.		 Pour down that longed for light of thine
Upon us all, dear King divine;
And let the conquered world adore
In shining peace forevermore.		 六、至愛君王我主上帝，求以所盼真光普照；
普世既已歸服於你，永享清平向你敬拜。
Jesu, tibi sit gloria,
Qui sceptra mundi temperas,
Cum Patre, et almo Spiritu,
In sempiterna sæcula. Amen.		 Jesu, to thee we glory pay,
Ruling earth’s kingdoms neath thy sway;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete. Amen.		 七、耶穌我眾頌主榮光，主掌王權統治萬邦；
聖父以及保惠聖靈，同受榮耀世世無盡。阿們。
