Songs for Saint Disibod

O mirum admirandum. Antiphon for Saint Disibod

O wondrous marvel,
a hidden form shines forth
and rises up in glorious stature
to where the living height
gives forth mystical truths.
Therefore, O Disibod, you will rise up at the end,
as once you were raised,
by the succouring blossom
of all the branches of the world.



O viriditas digiti dei. Responsory for Saint Disibod

O green vigour of the hand of God,
in which God has planted a vineyard,
it shines in the heights
like a stately column,
You are glorious in your preparation for God.

And O mountain on high
you will never weaken in God's testing
but you stand far off like an exile.
The armoured man does not have the power
to seize you.
You are glorious in your preparation for God.

Glory be to father and to the Son and to the Holy spirit.
You are glorious in your preparation for God.
