THIS the Confessor of the Lord, whose triumph | |||
Now all the faithful celebrate, with gladness | |||
Erst on this feast-day merited to enter | |||
Into his glory. | |||
Saintly and prudent, modest in behavior. | |||
Peaceful and sober, chaste was he, and lowly. | |||
While that life's vigor, coursing through his members, | |||
Quickened his being. | |||
Sick ones of old time, to his tomb resorting. | |||
Sorely by ailments manifold afflicted, | |||
Oft-times have welcomed health and strength returning. | |||
At his petition. | |||
Whence we in chorus gladly do him honor, | |||
Chanting his praises with devout affection, | |||
That in his merits we may have a portion. | |||
Now and forever. | |||
