Anton Bruckner (1824-1896)

Virga Jesse floruit:
Virgo Deum et hominem genuit:
pacem Deus reddidit,
in se reconcilians
imo summis.
Alleluja.

The branch from Jesse blooms:
a Virgin brings forth God and man:
God restores peace,
reconciling in himself
the lowest with the highest.
Alleluia.

based on Isaiah 11
