Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem coeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium.

[Et] in unum Dominum Jesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum. [Et] ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula.

Deum de Deo, lumen de lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero. [Genitum, not factum,] con substantialem Patri: per quem omnia facta sunt.

Qui propter nos homines, et [propter] nostram salutem descendit de coelis.

Et incarnatus est de Spiritu Sancto [ex Maria Virgine]: ET HOMO FACTUS EST. Crucifixus etiam pro nobis; sub Pontio Pilato passus, et sepultus est.

Et resurrexit tertia die, secundum Scripturas. Et ascendit in coelum: sedet ad desteram Patris. Et iterum venturus est com gloria judicare vivos et mortuos. cujus regni non erit finis.

[Et] in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem: qui ex Patre Filioque procedit. Qui cum Patre, et Filio simul adoratur [et] conglorificatur: qui locutus est per Prophetas. [Et unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam.] Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. [Et exspecto resurrectionem] mortuorum. Et vitam ventura saeculi. Amen.

I believe in one God, The Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth,
and of all things visible and invisible.
And in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the Only-begotten Son of God. Born of the Father before all ages.
God of God, Light of Light, true God of true God. Begotten, not made, of one substance with the Father. By whom all things were made.
Who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven. (here all present kneel)

And became incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the Virgin Mary: AND WAS MADE MAN. (here all arise) He was also crucified for us, suffered under Pontius Pilate, and was buried.
And on the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead and His kingdom will have no end.
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord and Giver of life, Who proceeds from the Father and the Son. Who together with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified, and who spoke through the prophets. And one holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I await the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Rorando coeli

Rorando coeli defluant,
nubesque justum depluant:
aperta terra machina,
florem salutis germina.

O, heavens, let forth your gentle rain;
and clouds, pour down the Just one.
The earth's secrets are now unlocked;
make the flower of salvation bloom.

Another translation:

The heavens shower forth dew
and the clouds rain down from the Just One:
The earth breaks forth and bears us
the flower of our Salvation.

auf Erden bin ich nur ein Gast,
und drückt mich sehr der Sünden Last.

my refuge, my comfort, my trust,
on earth I am only a guest,
and the burden of sins weighs heavily upon me.
