1. The worries have vanished, joy has appeared
And birds have chirped in the branches, singing

2. The moon of the horizon has risen after its setting
So grief has departed from hearts where it burned

3. From the West it has come to illuminate our land
Has any previous moon from the West shone?

4. Eyes were delighted the day they saw him
As a day that was pitch-black turned white

5. He is the unique scholar, the like of whom is rare
A gentleman cloaked in the robe of perfection

6. Beyond any second, and no wonder, for who
Has seen other than the full moon traversing the sky?

7. He arose as a shepherd in the heart of the church
And for it he was a pillar of glory erected

8. In him gathered the finest attributes until
They stood as his servants when he stood as their lord

9. Refined was his nature, as refined was his affection
And good was his character, as good was his birth

10. A quarter shone when he settled there, so if he walked
He would have strode barefoot to the encounter

11. So he remains at the peak of glory, high as
His name, and in the world safe from decay
