R. O vos felices radices
Language: Latin
R. O vos felices radices
cum quibus opus miraculorum
et non opus criminum
per torrens iter perspicue umbre plantatum est,
et o tu ruminans ignea vox,
precurrens limantem lapidem
subvertentem abyssum:
R. Gaudete in capite vestro.
V. Gaudete in illo
quem non viderunt in terris multi
qui ipsum ardenter vocaverunt.
R. Gaudete in capite vestro.

R. O you fruitful roots
Language: English after the Latin
R. O you fruitful roots
with whom the working of miracles
and not the working of transgressions
is planted along the flowing path of the limpid shadow,
and O you ruminating voice of fire,
who run before the whetstone
that overturns the abyss:
R. Rejoice in your Head.
V. Rejoice in him
whom the many on earth have not seen
who have eagerly called upon him.
R. Rejoice in your Head.
