Original text and translations

Latin text

O rosa incorruptibilis omni ligno paradisi praestans,
Rosa decor cedrorum Lebani in caelestis rosarii amenitatis
Floresque odores et albentia lilia pulchre vernans,
Germinare charitatis propagine in hortis plantationum tuarum,
Et in electis tuis mitte radices aeternae haereditatis.
Alleluia.
