"O frondens virga
in tua nobilitate stans
sicut aurora procedit
nunc gaude et letare
et nos debiles dignare
a mala consuetudine liberare atque
Manum tuam porrige ad erigendum nos
O blooming branch
you stand upright in your nobility
as breaks the dawn on high
Rejoice now and be glad
and deign to free us, frail and weakened
from the wicked habits of our age
stretch forth your hand
to lift us up aright"
