Hino Pontifício

O eternal Rome, of martyrs and saints
O eternal Rome, welcome our songs!
Glory on high to God of majesty
Peace on earth, justice and charity!
To you we run, Angelic Pastor
In you we see the sweet Redeemer
The voice of Peter in you the world hears
Comfort and shield for those who fight and struggle
The forces of hell will not prevail
But the truth, the sweet fraternal love!
Hail, hail Rome! Your history is eternal
Monuments and altars sing your glory to us!
Rome of the Apostles, Mother and Teacher of truth
Rome, all of Christendom awaits the world in you!
Hail, hail Rome! Your sun has no setting
It conquers, shining, all error and all evil!
Hail, Holy Father, may you live as long as Peter!
Descend, like honey from the rock
The paternal blessing!
