Original text and translations

Antiphonale Monasticum, Solesmes, 1934 gives line 3 of the Magnificat antiphon as "Te deprecor, venerande, colende".

Latin text Beata Agnes in medio flammarum, expansis manibus orabat, Te deprecor omnipotens adorande colende Pater metuende, quia per Sanctum filium tuum, evasi minas sacrilegi tyranni et carnis spurcitias, immaculato calle transivi, et ecce venio ad te quem amavi, quem quaesivi, quem semper optavi.

English translation Blessed Agnes amidst the flames stretched forth her hands in prayer: To Thee I pray, Almighty, Adored, Revered, and Dread Father: For by Thy Holy Son I evade the sacrilegious tyrant and this spurned flesh, and go my way unsullied to come unto Thee, whom I have loved, whom I have sought, whom I have always chosen.
