Faithful Cross the Saints rely on,
Noble tree beyond compare!
Never was there such a scion,
Never leaf or flower so rare.
Sweet the timber, sweet the iron,
Sweet the burden that they bear!
Crux fidélis, inter omnes arbor una nóbilis,
Nulla talem silva profert, flore, fronde, gérmine!
Dulce lignum dulci clavo dulce pondus sústinens!
