All that I seek to know on earth is Christ,
The power of his resurrected life,
To share the suff'rings that he bore for me,
Thus shall I triumph over death and strife.
So Romuald, the solitary man,
Became a living icon of his Lord,
In prayer and self-denial formed his monks
And molded them within the silent Word.
O Father, Son, and Spirit ever blessed,
We raise our hearts in silence and in praise!
With Romuald and all the heav'nly choir,
We praise you, Lord of Life, for all our days!
