Latin.png 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.png 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
