+
+    You shine forth radiant with lofty merits,
+
+    O Benedict!
+
+
+    A holy old age adorned you while a boy still,
+
+    No pleasure ever seized its share of you,
+
+    The world's flower withered for you, your mind
+
+    Already lifted on high.
+
+
+    Hence, fleeing ruin, your homeland and parents
+
+    You leave, an ardent dweller of the forest;
+
+    You tame the flesh, and, its harsh tormentor,
+
+    Subdue it wholly to Christ.
+
+
+    Lest you too long keep safe your hidden refuge,
+
+    Worthy deeds of holiness reveal you;
+
+    Your happy fame is scattered through the whole world
+
+    Borne on swift wing.
+
+
+    Glory to the Father and the begotten Son,
+
+    And, ever equal to them both, to you,

+    Kindly Spirit, one God, through every
