Hildegard von Bingen - O Euchari
Ubi c** Filio Dei mansisti,
illum tangendo
et miracula eius que fecit videndo,
O Euchari, in leta via
ambulasti ubi c** Filio Dei mansisti,
illum tangendo
et miracula eius que fecit videndo
Tu eum perfecte amasti
c** sodales tui exterriti erant,
pro eo quod homines erant,
nec possibilitatem habebant
bona perfecte intueri.
Tu autem in ardenti amore plene
caritatis illum amplexus es,
c** manipulos preceptorum eius
ad te collegisti.

O Eucharius
You trod in the path of joyousness
when you tarried with the Son of God,
touching him and seeing
the miracles that he wrought.
You loved him perfectly
when your fellow-travellers were terrified
because they were men
and had no chance to see Divine Good perfectly.
But you in the full love of burning devotion
cherished him when you garnered
the bales of his command for yourself
