Hæc est arbor digníssima - Exaltation of Holy Cross no 3

R. Hæc est / arbor digníssima, in paradisi médio situata, * In qua salútis auctor propria morte mortem ómnium superávit.
V. Crux præcellénti decore fulgida, † quam Heraclius imperátor concupiscénti animo recuperávit.
R. In qua salútis auctor propria morte mortem ómnium superávit.
R. This is that noble tree, planted in the midst of the garden * Whereon the Author of our salvation did by His Own death openly triumph over the death of all men.
V. Even the Cross, whereof the glory is so excellent, and which the Emperor Heraclius did so eagerly rescue.
R. Whereon the Author of our salvation did by His Own death openly triumph over the death of all men.
