Spiritui Sancto

Spiritui Sancto honor sit,
qui in mente Ursule virginis
virginalem turbam velut columbas collegit,

Unde ipsa patriam suam
sicut Abraham religquit.
et etiam propter amplxionem Agni
desponsationem viri sibi abstraxit.

Nam iste castissimus et aureus exercitus
in virgineo crine mate transivit.

O quis umquam talia audivit?

Et etiam propter amplexionem Agni
desponsationem viri sibi abstraxit.

Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.

Et etiam propter amplexionem Agni
desponsationem viri sibi abstraxit.

Holy Spirit

Honor be to you, O Holy Spirit,
who, through the mind of the virgin Ursula,
brought together a whirling tumult
of the purest doves.

Thereupon, like Abraham,
she relinquished her homeland,
and releasing herself from worldly betrothal,
she entered into the embrace of the Lamb.

So this pure golden army with flowing hair
passed over the sea.

O whoever heard of such as this?

For she released herself
from worldly betrothal,
and entered into the embrace of the Lamb Himself.
Glory to the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

She released herself from worldly betrothal,
and entered in to the embrace
of the Lamb Himself.
