Translation

O Angels

O angels, you
who guard the peoples in your care
whose form reflects in flash
upon your face;
O archangels, you
who lend your aid
to righteous souls;
O virtues,
powers,
princedoms,
dominations, thrones
you’re reckoned
in the mystic fifth;
and O you
cherubim
and seraphim,
the seal upon God’s mysteries:
 
Praise be to you,
who glimpse the chamber of the ancient heart
within the fount, the source.
 
For you look into
the Father’s
inner strength
the breathing of his heart
as of his face.
 
Praise be to you,
who glimpse the chamber of the ancient heart
within the fount, the source.
