| O virtus Sapientiae, | O strength of Wisdom Beyond Time, |
| quae circuiens circuisti | who, in making circles, circled all, | |
| comprehendendo omnia | thus encompassing everything | |
| in una via, quae habet vitam, | in just one pathway, all life conferring, | |
| tres alas habens, | with three wings You fly: | |
| quarum una in altum volat, | One wing soars to the highest heavens, | |
| et altera de terra sudat, | and one distills on earth its essence; | |
| et tertia undique volat. | the third wing suffuses existence. | |
| Laus tibi sit, sicut te decet, | All praise to You, just as is fitting, | |
| O Sapientia. | O Wisdom Beyond Time. | |
