Edition notes: Original key. The third voice may have originally been intended for a tenor voice, but its tessitura is so high I think it would be far better for an alto.

Aequalis aeterno patri,
Carnis trophaeo accingere,
Infirma nostri corporis
Virtute firmans perpeti.

O equal to the Father, Thou!
gird on Thy fleshly mantle now;
the weakness of our mortal state
with deathless might invigorate.
