back to Saint Hildegard of Bingen

“O Euchari columba …” by Saint Hildegard of Bingen 🇩🇪 (c. 1098 – 17 Sep 1179)
Translated from the Latin by Nathaniel M. Campbell
Responsory for St. Eucharius
​
O St. Eucharius, the Dove
has granted unto you the power
in wondrous signs of him
who once amidst the wheel
cried out:
​
R. No longer did you see him
him in the flesh,
yet in his shadow you fulfilled
his wondrous signs.
​
V. And so you gleamed within his heart
and set a seal upon the cherubim.
​
R. No longer did you see him
him in the flesh,
yet in his shadow you fulfilled
his wondrous signs.
