Oleum effusum est nomen eius, o nomen quod pietatis gratiam et potentiam maiestatis sonat Sanctum olim et terribile nomen eius. Sed currite gentes effusum est nomen quod quicumquae invocaverit salvus erit. O nomen nectare dulcius beato, o nomen nobile pingue delicarum Te cantu dicere Angelico debemus, o nomen super omne nomen. Angelorum Deus etiam hominum se Deum nominat. Effunde Aperi manum tuam et imple omne animal benedictione venite ad confitendum nomini Domini resonet in voce exultationis et laetitiae sonus epulantis. Oleum effusum (...)

Mais courrez, nations, versé est le nom par qui quiconque l'invoque sera sauvé. Ô nom, plus doux que le miel béni, ô nom, onguent bien connu des délices, toi que nous devrions nommer angélique dans les chants, ô nom au-dessus de tous les noms. Le Dieu des anges se nomme aussi Dieu des hommes. Répands ta main et remplis de bénédiction tout être vivant, venez pour que la révélation du nom du Seigneur résonne d'une voix d'exultation et un son de joie comme à un banquet.
