- CPDL #23614:
- Editor: Ross Jallo (submitted 2011-05-26). Score information: Letter, 2 pages, 29 kB Copyright: Public Domain
- Edition notes: Original pitch. The third voice may have originally been intended for a tenor voice, but its tessitura is so high I think it would be far better for an alto.

Aequalis aeterno patri,
Carnis trophaeo accingere,
Infirma nostri corporis
Virtute firmans perpeti.

O equal to the Father, Thou!
gird on Thy fleshly mantle now;
the weakness of our mortal state
with deathless might invigorate.
(tr. J.M. Neale)
