Stans beata Agnes in medio flammae,
expansis manibus orabat ad Dominum:
Omnipotens, adorande, colende, tremende:
benedico te, et glorifico nomen tuum in aeternum.

Blessed Agnes, standing in the midst of the flames,
raised her hands and prayed to the Lord:
Almighty, worthy of all adoration, worship and awe:
I bless you and glorify your name for ever.

Translation by Margaret Winkworth
