Original Latin Text

texts from the chants of
Hildegard von Bingen
______________________________



O factura Dei

O factura Dei que es homo,
in magna sanctitate edificata es,
quia sancta divinitas
in humilitate celos penetravit.

O quam magna pietas est
quod in limo terre deitas claruit,
et quod angeli Deo ministrantes
Deum in humanitate vident.

This text is derived from the Wiesbaden manuscript.

O factura Dei


O creation of God which is human,
in the greatest of sacredness you were brought forth
when in humility,
sacred divinity penetrated the heavens.

O what great comnpassion
allows divine brilliance in earthly mire.
So that those angels ministering with God
might see God in humanity.
