CHANT TO THE HOLY ANGELS (St. Hildegard of Bingen)

Details

Description

It is with great joy that we publish this chant to the holy angels, composed by St. Hildegard of Bingen. For a whole year we sang it daily and very often in Jerusalem.

With this song, we ask the holy angels - to whom we have entrusted the spreading of our musical apostolate - to help to realise the great intention we carry in our hearts: a true conversion of mankind to the One whom they - the angels - love and serve, and whose divine eyes they gaze upon without ceasing. There is nothing more important for people than to know the love of God and to follow His Son, whom He sent to redeem us.

O most glorious angels, may the triumphant joy of your nature, untainted by every wicked deed, help to drive away the darkness, so that the Kingdom of God may come.

In the present year, 2023, we have proposed to serve with our prayer and apostolate in a special way the intention of conversion, and we would like to invite our listeners to join us in this great intention.


English translation of the song:

O living light, O angels glorious!

Below divinity, upon the eyes divine you gaze within the darkness mystical of all creation—

In yearnings set alight which can never be quenched or satiated:

How glorious too are these, the joys your form possesses—

that form that in your number remains untouched by every wicked deed that first arose in your companion, that now-lost angel who wished to fly above, within the hidden

pinnacle of God— then twisted, tortured, he was plunged into his ruin.

But yet, his fall’s devices by cunning plot he laid against the craft of God’s creative finger.
