Zbigniew Wodecki - Hymn do św. Benedykta

When the end of the late order came
and the new world was born in pain
you stood at the times' border, Father
to protect the good

Obedient to the power of God's calling
and resembling the prophets in inspiration
you walked the way of humility and order
of God's law

To many people in need of peace
you set an example through your own life
of how to seek God and His love
in all our brethern (x2)

Gloria Patri, gloria Filio et Spiritui Sancto
et in saecula saeculorum, saeculorum
Amen*

Today there comes the unknown again
and the world is filled with mayhem and deceit
May the Lord show us the right way
because of you

Let's give thanks to the most holy Trinity
for Benedict and his teachings
May Europe find its unity
through faith in God

To many people in need of peace
you set an example through your own life
of how to seek God and His love
in all our brethern (x2)

Gloria Patri, gloria Filio et Spiritui Sancto
et in saecula saeculorum, saeculorum
Amen
