Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

O, magnum pietatis opus praesulis,
lus-trat imago per urbem, lungo ordine cives lumine magno,
piis hymnis, caetus chorusque voces ad sidera tollunt:
Vivat, vivat, martyr, Sanctus Ruphinus almus!
et referunt grates voce canore lyrae.

(Translation:Jaap de Raadt)
O, groot werk van liefde van de bisschop.
Zijn beeld verlicht heel de stad,
haar bewoners in een lange rij in dat grote licht.
Met vrome liederen heffen de gemeenschap (gemeente) en het koor
hun stemmen ten hemel (naar het gesternte):
hij leeft, martelaar, Heilige Ruphinus, milddadige!
en brengen dank met zang en snaren.
