Comments
This is clearly a prayer for private meditation, not a hymn to be sung in alternating choirs, so the number of stanzas is irrelevant. Could it be Irish? – It has the same metrical form as ‘Benchuir bona regula’ and ‘Mundus iste transibit’ (as well as AH LI. no. 247), as Blume notes (on the form, see also Schaller). List under dubia?
