[Owl] Caritas abundat (antiphona)
Chant of Hildegard von Bingen (1098-1179)


Caritas abundat in omnia,
de imis excellentissima
super sidera,

Loving tenderness abounds for all
from the darkest
to the most eminent one beyond the stars,

atque amantissima in omnia,
quia summo Regi
osculum pacis dedit.

Exquisitely loving all
she bequeaths the kiss of peace
upon the ultimate King.
