Oleum effusum
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  FRE
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 (...)
Effusum plane quod non solum coelum terrasquae persudit
Sed aspersit et inferos dum ad hoc santum nomen
flectitur omne genu.
O nomen (…)

De l'onguent versé
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin 
De l'onguent versé est son nom, ô nom qui de la grâce de la piété
et du pouvoir de la majesté résonne.
Saint depuis longtemps et terrible est son nom.
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.
De l'onguent versé (...)
Versé complètement pour que non seulement il mouille le ciel et la terre 
Mais arrose aussi les enfers tandis qu'à son saint nom
tout genou se fléchit.
Ô nom (...)
