St. Clement of Alexandria

Your simple

Gather the children

To glorify sacredly,

Sing ingenuously

Through innocent lips

Christ the Child-Guide.

King of saints,

O Logos, Giver of Humility,

To the wisdom of the Father Most High Guide,

In the works of the Support,

Eternal Joy of Life,

Of mortal race

Saviour, Jesus,

Shepherd, Plowman,

Feeding, bridling,

The heavenly wing of the holy flock!

Fisher of men,

Rescued

From the sea of wickedness!

Clean fish

From the wave of hostility

to a sweet life!

Lead us, sheep

Shepherd of the prudent!

Holy King, lead

Thy immaculate children,

By the paths of Christ,

By the way of heaven!

O Eternal Word!

O infinite Eternity!

O Eternal Light!

The Fountain of Mercy,

A co-worker of virtue,

Life is impeccable

Those who glorify God! O Christ Jesus!

Heavenly Milk

From sweet nipples

The Virgin of Grace!

Thy wisdom flowing.

We are little children,

With tender lips

Eating

Animate nipple

Gentle breath

Imbued,

Praise is simple,

Hymns are not false

I soar to Christ,

For reverent recompense
