LATIN TEXT:
In paupertatis predio
Franciscus plantat vineam.
Vere vitis propaginem
auget nova productio.
Evellens stirpem spineam,
Ficus alit dulcedinem,
Cedit spinetum lilio.
Invia purgat vitia
Corde mundus et opere,
Coruscet ut in patria
Culpe liber ab honere.
Ad amena pascua
Vagas oves dirige.
Fac sequi proficua,
Mentes lapsas erige.
Da cum agnis eligi;
Da cum granis colligi.
ENGLISH TRANSLATION:
In the field of poverty
Francis planted a vineyard.
A shoot of the true vine
grows with new production.
Tearing out the roots of thorns,
the fig yields its sweetness,
the thorn gives way to the lily.
He cleanses the wilderness of sin,
pure in heart and deed,
so that he might shine in his homeland
free of the burden of guilt.
To pleasant pastures
guide the wandering sheep.
Make them follow what is useful;
restore their fallen minds.
Grant them to be chosen with the lambs;
grant them to be gathered with the grain.
