Hymn to St.John at Lauds
1.
Let the holy church express
The great merit of John,
How he eliminates shadows,
He lights with words of life.
2.
The Holy Spirit lifts the heart
Of this one on high,
So that he perceives the
Deeply hidden mystery.
3.
Behold the fortunate eagle
Hungry he flies to his prey,
Which was quickening the citizens of heaven
And is refreshing us in the way (journey).
4.
This man holds the first place
In the chorus of so many thousands of virgins,
He happens in this way following on foot
So as not divisible from the mothers.
5.
Let there be praise to the unborn…
