O spectabiles viri

Vos antiqui sancti,
predixistis salvationem
exulum animarum
que inmerse fuerant morti,
qui circuisti
ut rote mirabiliter
loquentes mistica montis
qui celum tangit,
pertransiens ungendo multas aquas,
cum etiam inter vos
surrexit lucida lucerna,
que ipsum montem precurrens ostendit.

You holy ones of old
have prophesied the salvation of
souls enduring banishment,
souls that were plunged into death,
you have rotated
wondrously as wheels, manifesting
the mysteries of the mountain
that touches heaven
crossing through and anointing with much water.
Once again among you
has arisen a lantern that glows
that races ahead revealing the mountain.
