Pangamus Nerio debita cantica, Quem supra nitidi
sidera verticis, Virtus, et meritum sustulit inclytum Carpturum pia gaudia.
Sicuri subitis dum videt ignibus Aedes, quas
habitat, fletibus abstinet, Flammas cum penitus quiverit horridas Paucis
vincere lacrymis.
Oblatum patrui munus, et aureos Nummos magnanimus
calcat, et impiger Romam digreditur, quam magis omnibus Illustrem facit
urbibus.
Noctes sub specubus, corpora martyrum Quas
implent, vigilat sedulus integras ; Ex ipsis satagens discere mortuis Normam,
qua bene viveret.
Almae sit Triadi gloria perpetim, Quam caelum,
barathrum, terraque suscipit : Quae nobis Nerii det prece iugia Dulcis gaudia
Patriae. Amen
Hymn
1. Due
praises sing in Philip's sight, Who now 'mid heaven's stars so bright There
dwells in sweet delight; Reward for virtue famed.
2. While
home he sees consumed by flame, From weeping, heedless, yet refrains, E'en
through few tears would serve to tame The menace of the blaze.
3. He
spurns, for such his noble heart, His uncle's wealth and swift departs To Rome,
whose name he sets apart: A city of renown.
4. Whole
nights of prayer in catacombs, Amid the martyrs' many tombs He learns from
those who've met their doom The art of living well.
5. To
loving Trinity e'er be praise, Whom heaven, abyss and earth upraise, Whose gift
Heaven's joy for all our days, Bestowed on Philip's prayer. Amen.
