Latin text
Aperite portas Redemptori
et ingrediatur Salvator
custodiens veritatem.
Siquis audierit voce meam
et aperuit mihi ianuam,
intrabo ad illum,
et coenabo cum illo
et ipse mecum.
Italian translation
Aprite le porte al Redentore
ed entri il Salvatore,
che custodisce la verità.
Se ascolterà la mia voce,
e mi aprirà la porta,
entrerò da lui
e cenerò con lui,
ed egli con me.
English translation
Open the doors to the Redeemer
and the Savior will come in,
keeping the truth.
Whoever will hear my voice
and open the door to me,
I will come to him,
and eat with him
and he with me.
