XXXIII. O mirum admirandum (De sancto Dysibodo)
The Hidden Form and the Succoring Flower
The antiphon marvels at the hidden form rising in noble stature and foretells Disibode's eschatological rising with the succoring flower of all the world's branches.
Antiphon: O wondrous, awesome thing — the hidden form rises high, lofty in its noble stature, where a living height brings forth mysteries. From where, O Disibode, you will rise at the end with the succoring flower of all the branches of the world, when you first arose.
Read the original Latin
Antiphona: O mirum admirandum, quod absconsa forma precellit, ardua in honesta statura, ubi vivens altitudo profert mistica. Unde, o Disibode, surges in fine succurente flore omnium ramorum mundi, ut primum surrexisti.
