Flos de radice Jesse

1. Flos de radice Jesse, est natus hodie.
Quem nobis jam adesse, laetamur unice.
Flos ille Jesus est.
Maria Virgo radix de qua flos ortus est.

2. Hunc Isaias florem, praesagiis cecinit.
Ad ejus nos amorem, Nascentis allicit.
Flos virgam superat
coeli terraeque cives, Flos ille recreat.

3. Est campi flos pudici,, est flos convallium.
Pulcrumque potest dici, in spinis lilium.
Odoris optimi;
vel soli quodvis cedit aroma nomini.

4. Hic suo flos odore, fideles attrahit.
Divino mox amore, attractos imbuit.
O flos o gratia:
ad te suspiro, de te me satia.
