about
a morph of "O dulcis electe" (Hildegard von Bingen) as played by Noel Akchoté on elec guitar
lyrics
R. O dulcis electe,
qui in ardore ardentis
effulsisti, radix,
et qui in splendore Patris
elucidasti mistica,
et qui intrasti
cubiculum castitatis
in aurea civitate
quam construxit rex,
cum accepit sceptrum regionum:
R. Prebe adiutorium peregrinis.
V. Tu enim auxisti pluviam
precessoribus tuis,
qui miserunt illam
in viriditate pigmentariorum.
R. Prebe adiutorium peregrinis.
R. O chosen sweet,
inflamed by Flame
you gleamed, a root,
and in the Father’s radiance
you beamed the mysteries,
and went into
the bed of chastity
within the golden City,
constructed by the King
when he received the scepter of the lands:
R. To pilgrims lend your aid.
V. For you have swelled the rain
together with your predecessors,
who cast it
with the spicers’ viridity.
R. To pilgrims lend your aid.
