1. Upon you the most fragrant greeting, O illumination of glory
And whose pleasure with us is the ultimate hope

2. Upon you the most honorable greeting and the sweetest
Whereby perfumes would become shy before it

3. Upon you the most beautiful greeting and the most perfect
And what else could your status be but absolute perfection?

4. O my master, O intercessor of all creation
To whom one day the hand of death will arrive
