Hymnus de Sancte Andree Apostole
Andrea pie, sanctorum mitissime,
optine nostris errantibus veniam
et qui gravamur sarcina peccaminum,
subleva tuis intercessionibus.
Amen

O, pious Andrew, thou most tender of all saints,
attain for us mercy for our many mistakes
and raise us, by your recurring intercession,
who are beleaguered by the weight of all our sins.
Amen
