Like Adest sponsus, this is a conductus, or processional song; the treble voices declaim the text - which is concerned with some of the same images that evoked in the reading that follows - in an early form of three-part harmony.

Gedeonis area
celitus perfusa rore; [bad word] ignea
radiat absque calore.
nucleus et nuclea
testa prodit lutea,
lux aurea!
Granum exit palea,
oleastris olea,
liquetur petra liquore.

Gideon's courtyard
is wet with dew from heaven;
the bush, with fiery flame
radiates without heat.
The [bad word] and [bad word] forth from the shell;
as a golden light! [bad word] forth from the chaff,
the olive from the olive tree,
the rock is made liquid from liquid.
