Hildegard von Bingen
I just finished listening to “Hildegard von Bingen – Eine Feder auf dem Odem Gottes” CD and it’s amazingly delightful.
My favorite song off the CD is “O Euchari” which Richard Souther also released a few years ago…. wonderful song sung in latin.
O Euchari (translated lyrics)
O Eucharius
You trod in the path of joyousness
when you tarried with the Son of God,
touching him and seeing
the miracles that he wrought.
You loved him perfectly
when your fellow-travellers were terrified
because they were men
and had no chance to see Divine Good perfectly.
But you in the full love of burning devotion
cherished him when you garnered
the bales of his command for yourself
