Original text and translations

Latin text Doctor bonus, amicus Dei Andreas ducitur ad crucem. Aspiciens a longe, vidit crucem et dixit: "Salve crux, suscipe discipulum eius qui pependit in te magister meus Christus."

English translation A virtuous teacher and friend of God, Andrew was led to the cross. Looking from afar, he saw the cross and said: "Hail, cross, receive a disciple of Him who hung on you, Christ, my master."

German translation

Guter Lehrer, Freund Gottes,
Andreas, Führer zum Kreuz.
Herblickend von ferne
sah er das Kreuz und sagte:
"Sei gegrüßt, Kreuz,
nimm den Schüler dessen auf,
der an dir hing,
mein Meister Christus."
