Latin text Fidem refundens perditis coecosque visu illuminans: quem non gravi solvit metu latronis absolutio? Opus stupent et angeli poenam videntes corporis Christoque adhaerentem reum Vitam beatam carpere.

English translation Restoring faith to the lost and enlightening the blind with sight, whom does the thief's absolution not release from heavy dread? Even angels are astonished at the work, seeing punishment of the body and the guilty man clinging to Christ to seize blessed life.
