English translation:
Holy Spirit, bestowing life unto life, moving in All.
You are the root of all creatures, washing away all impurity,
scouring guilt, and anointing wounds.
Thus you are luminous and praiseworthy, Life,
awakening, and re-awakening all that is.

@Beliber88 What you said was incorrect because the nuns sung inside the convents. Women could not sing in a church, especially when a Mass was performed, but they lived in nunneries, abbeys and convent, where men could not go and also sang to God. Hildegard von Binger was one of the most expressive abbess and founder of the convent at Rubertsberg in Germany and composed many sequences. Surely the nuns and abbess sang Catholic music on Medieval times. I suggest you to read Palisca, Stolba, Seaton

Im sorry to add that this is not classified as Medieval music.

In the Medieval period there were only Male voices.

therefore this is Incorrect.
