The Fire of the Dove Lyrics

The Fire of the Dove

Ah! Jehanne, Jehanne!
Oh!
...valde beatus fuisti c** Verbum Dei te in
igne columbe imbuit.
(ubi tu quasi aurora illuminatus es...)
...valde beatus fuisti c** Verbum Dei te in
igne columbe imbuit.
Translation:

Ah! Joan, Joan!
Oh!

...you were greatly blessed when the Word
of God steeped you in the fire of the dove.
(where you were illumined like the dawn...)
...you were greatly blessed when the Word
of God steeped you in the fire of the dove.
(St. Hildegard of Bingen)
