Original text and translations

Latin text 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.

English translation Oh blossoming bough standing in all your nobility just as the morning awakens: so now rejoice and be glad, though we are frail deem us worthy, keep us from falling into habitual wickedness and also extend your hand out to help us stand upright. Translation by Hugh McElroy
