[Antiphon — unison] Lux fracta, fides integra. Lux fracta, fides integra. [Verse 1] Lapis non loquitur, sed sustinet. Vitrum non mentitur, sed frangitur. Fide, non gradu, stamus. [Antiphon] Lux fracta, fides integra. [Verse 2] Honor onus, onus honor. Alter alterum portat; nemo solus cadit. [Antiphon] Lux fracta, fides integra. [Verse 3 — lower, slower] Super urbem, ex urbe. Quod scinditur, tenemus. Quod tenemus, nos tenet. [Final — full, sustained, long decay] Lux fracta, fides integra. Ita stamus. Translation: [Antiphon] Broken light, unbroken faith. Broken light, unbroken faith. [Verse 1] The stone does not speak, but it bears the weight. The glass does not lie, but it breaks. By faith, not by footing, we stand. [Antiphon] Broken light, unbroken faith. [Verse 2] Honor is a burden; the burden is the honor. Each carries the other; no one falls alone. [Antiphon] Broken light, unbroken faith. [Verse 3] Above the city, of the city. What is torn open, we hold. What we hold, holds us. [Final] Broken light, unbroken faith. Thus we stand.
