O Euchari in leta via
O Euchari
In leta via ambulasti
Ubi cum filio Dei mansisti
Illum tangendo
Et miracula eius que fecit videndo
Tu eum perfecte amasti
Cum sodales tui exterriti erant
Pro eo quod homines erant
Nec possibilitatem habebant
Bona perfecte intueri
Tu autem
In ardente amore plene caritatis
Illum amplexus es
Cum manipulos preceptorum eius
Ad te collegisti
O Euchari
Valde beatus fuisti
Cum verbum Dei
Te in igne columbe imbuit
Ubi tu quasi aurora illuminatus es
Et sic fundamentum Ecclesie
Edificasti
Et in pectore tuo
Choruscat dies
In quo tria tabernacula
Super marmoream columpnam stant
In civitate Dei
Per os tuum Ecclesia ruminat
Vetus et novum vinum
Videlicet poculum sanctitatis
Sed et in tua doctrina
Ecclesia effecta est racionalis
Ita quod supra montes clamavit
Ut colles et ligna se declinarent
Ac mamillas illius sugerent
Nunc in tua clara voce
Filium Dei ora pro hac turba
Ne in ceremoniis Dei deficiat
Sed ut vivens holocaustum
Ante altare Dei fiat
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 commands for yourself
O Eucharius
You were greatly blessed
When the word of God
Touched you with the dove's fire
Whence you were made shimmering like daybreak
And thus so fashioned
The foundation of Ecclesia
The daylight gleams
In your breast
In which three shrines
Stand on a marble pillar
In the city of God
In your mouth Ecclesia savours
The old and the new wine
Which is the potion of holiness
And in your preaching
Ecclesia is filled with understanding
So that she has proclaimed in the high places
That the hills and trees should bend
And be suckled by her
Now, in your shining voice
Beseech Christ for this multitude
That they may not desert the rites of God
But may always make
The living sacrifice before His altar
