Summi regis sponsa digna,
Cunctis clemens, et benigna
Operum suffragio.
Cecis lumen, claudis via,
Nudis Martha, et Maria
Mentis desiderio.

Inter spinas flos fuisti,
Sic flos flori placuisti,
Pietatis gratia.
Verbo verbum concepisti
Regem regum peperisti,
Virgo viro nescia.

Tutrix pia tui gregis,
Memor sis Henrici regis,
Pro quo pete Filium.
Ut exutus carne gravi,
Vitae scriptus suavi,
Post presens exsilium.

Regis nostrique regina,
Ora natum ut ruina,
Relaxetur debita.
Et regnare fac renatos,
A reatu expurgatos,
Pietate solita.

Contratenor: O Georgi Deo care,
Salvatorem deprecare,
Ut gubernet Angliam
Ipsum teque commendare,
Valeamus et laudare
Deitatis gratiam.

Tu qui noster advocatus
Es, ius tui patronatus,
Defendas ab hostibus,
Et Anglorum gentem serva
Pace firma sine guerra,
Tuis sanctis precibus.

Miles fortis, custos plebis,
Sis Henrici nostri regis,
Presens ad consilium.
Contra hostes apprehende,
Arma, scutum, archum tende,
Sibi fer auxilium.

Gloriosa spes Anglorum,
Audi vota famulorum,
Tibi nunc canentium.
Per te nostrum ut patronum,
Consequamur pacis donum,
In terra viventium.

Spouse worthy of the greatest king,
by the testimony of all your works
you show mercy and kindness in all things.
Light of the blind, way of the lame,
Martha to the naked, and Mary
to those desiring knowledge.

You were a flower among thorns,
and as that flower you were pleasing to the flower,
with the grace of holiness.
You conceived the word by the word,
giving birth to the king of kings,
a virgin, knowing not a man.

Sacred guardian of your flock,
be mindful of king Henry,
for whom entreat your Son.
That he, when having once cast off the burden of the flesh,
may be received into the sweetness of life,
after his present exile here on earth.

And, queen of our king,
beseech your son that the ruin
we deserve may be alleviated.
That we may reign, reborn
and purified from sins,
by customary piety.

Contratenor: O George, dear to God,
earnestly pray the saviour
that he may lead and govern England
and that we may be worthy
to commend both you and him,
and to praise the grace of God.

You, who are our advocate, may you
defend the law of your realm and authority
from all enemies,
and keep safe the people of England
in stable peace, without war,
by your holy prayers.

Mighty soldier, guardian of the people,
be present at the counsel and
deliberations of Henry our king.
Warn him against his enemies,
proffer him arms, shield and bow,
and bring him aid.

Glorious hope of the English,
hear the prayers of your people
now singing praises to you.
So that, through you as our patron,
we may attain the gift of peace
in the land of the living.
