O Jerusalem, golden city, Robed in royal purple; O edifice of highest excellence, You are a light never darkened.
You are adorned in the dawn And in the heat of the sun. O blessed childhood Which gleams in the dawn, And fair youth, Aflame in the sun.
For you, O noble Rupert, Glitter in these like a gem. You cannot be hidden By human foolishness, Just as a mountain Cannot be hidden by a valley.
Your windows, Jerusalem, Are carefully decorated With topaz and sapphire.
In these windows you blaze, O Rupert, And cannot be hidden by tepid mortals; Just as a mountain cannot be hidden; But instead crowned with roses, Lilies and purple, in a true revelation.
O tender flower of the field, O sweet juiciness of the apples, O burden without weight, Let none bend a head to their breast in guilt.
O noble vessel Which was not polluted nor drained In the ancient ceremony of the cave And is not weakened By wounds from the ancient destroyer.
In you sings the Holy Spirit, With whom the angelic choir unites, And through whom you are adorned In the Son of God, Having no stain upon you.
O Rupert, what a beautiful chalice you are, For in your childhood and youth You sighed after God in awe of God; And in the tender embrace of Love, You lived in the sweetest aroma of good deeds.
O Jerusalem, your foundation is laid With burning stones, Which are the tax-gatherers and sinners Who were lost sheep, But discovered by the Son of God They ran to you, and were placed in you.
Thus your walls blaze with living stones, Who with great efforts of good will Have flown like clouds into the sky.
And so your towers, O Jerusalem, Glitter and gleam with dawn, And with sacred incandescence, And with all the finery of God Which you do not lack, O Jerusalem.
Therefore, O you adorned and crowned ones Who live in Jerusalem, And you, O Rupert, Who are their companion in that dwelling, Help us, who are serving and laboring in exile.Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
