about

In the first part the Patriarchs and Prophets are amazed by the brilliance of the Virtues and acknowledge them as the ‘fruit of the living eye’.

lyrics

Patriarche et Prophete
2 Qui sunt hi, qui ut nubes?
Virtutes
O antiqui sancti, quid admiramini in nobis?
Verbum del clarescit in forma hominis,
et ideo fulgemus cum illo,
edificantes membra sui pulchri corporis.
Patriarche et prophete
Nos sumus radices et vos rami,
fructus viventis oculi,
et nos umbra in illo fuimus.

Patriarchs and Prophets
2 Who are these, who seem like clouds?
Virtues
O ancient holy ones, why do you marvel at us?
The Word of God grows bright in the form of a man,
and so we shine with Him,
building up the limbs of His beautiful body.
Patriarchs and Prophets
We are the roots, and you are the branches,
the fruit of the living eye,
of which we were the shadow in Him.
