Original text and translations

Latin text

Unus ex duobus qui secuti sunt Dominum erat Andreas, frater Simonis Petri.
Alleluja.

Cum pervenisset beatus Andreas ad locum ubi crux parata erat, exclamavit dicens:
O bona crux, diu desiderata et jam concupiscenti animo praeparata, securus et gaudens venio ad te,
ita et tu exsultans suscipe discipulum ejus qui pependit in te.
