Original Latin Text

texts from the chants of
Hildegard von Bingen
______________________________

O choruscans lux stellarum

O choruscans lux stellarum,
o splendidissima specialis forma
regalium nuptiarum,
o fulgens gemma,
tu es ornata in alta persona,
quae non habet maculatam rugam.

Tu es etiam socia Angelorum
et civis sanctorum.

Fuge, fuge speluncam antiqui perditoris,
et veniens veni in palatium Regis.

This text is derived from the Wiesbaden manuscript.

O glistening starlight

O glistening starlight,
O most brilliant singular figure
of the royal marriage,
O glowing gem:
You are arrayed as a person of high rank
who has no mark nor wrinkle;

You are also an angel's companion
and a citizen of sacredness.

Run, flee from the ancient destroyer's cave!
Come, enter into the palace of the King.
