2. Prelude: O Virtus Sapientiae Hildegard of Bingen
sung by the TST Choir
O strength of Wisdom,
which circles and encompasses everything
in one life-giving path.
You have three wings: one soaring high into heaven,
one sweeping the earth, and the other fluttering everywhere.
Praise to you, as is fitting, O Wisdom!
