V. O vos imitatores excelse persone
Language: Latin
V. O vos imitatores excelse persone
in preciosissima et gloriosissima significatione,
o quam magnus est vester ornatus,
ubi homo procedit,
solvens et stringens in Deo
pigros et peregrinos,
R. etiam ornans candidos et nigros
et magna onera remittens.
V. Nam et angelici ordinis officia habetis,
et fortissima fundamenta prescitis,
ubicumque constituenda sunt,
unde magnus est vester honor;
R. etiam ornans candidos et nigros
et magna onera remittens.

V. O you who re‑enact the lofty role
Language: English after the Latin
V. O you who re-enact the lofty role
in the most precious and most glorious presentation,
O how fine is your raiment,
when a man comes forth,
loosing and binding in God
those who linger and those who wander,
R. also adorning the bright and the dark
and relieving great burdens.
V. For you have both the duties of the angelic order,
and foreknowledge of the strongest foundations,
wherever they are to be established,
wherefore great is your honor;
R. also adorning the bright and the dark
and relieving great burdens.
