The glory of our way, | |||
the leader of the Friars Minor, | |||
Francis, holding his prize, | |||
is given to life in Thee, the Vine, | |||
O Christ, Redeemer of all. | |||
His works of wonder prove that he | |||
is taken from earth, given to heaven; | |||
Therefore he lives, for he entered the | |||
eternal gifts of Christ. | |||
Let them follow him, and be joined | |||
to him who march out of Egypt; | |||
with him as leader, in bright light | |||
the standards of the King go forth. | |||
He is a trusty guide, | |||
a bright star; he leads, | |||
he shines, avoiding the wrong path, | |||
showing blessed joys to us. | |||

(A similarly constructed piece is sung in the Cisterican Office of St Bernard.) The hymns thus quoted are all from the repertoire generally found in all medieval Uses of the Office.

- Aeterna Christi munera - from the Common of Apostles
- Vexilla regis prodeunt - from Vespers of Passiontide
