Creátor álme síderum, Aetérna lux credéntium, Jésu, Redémptor ómnium, Inténde vótis súpplicum. |
Creator of the starry skies! / Eternal Light of all who live! / Jesus, Redeemer of mankind! / An ear to Thy poor suppliants give. |
| 2 |
Qui daémonis ne fráudibus Períret órbis, ímpetu Amóris áctus, lánguidi Múndi medéla fáctus es. |
When man was sunk in sin and death, / Lost in the depth of Satan's snare, / Love brought Thee down to cure our ills, / By taking of those ills a share. |
| 3 |
Commúne qui múndi néfas Ut expiáres, ad crúcem E Vírginis sacrário Intácta pródis víctima. |
Thou, for the sake of guilty men, / Causing Thine own pure blood to flow, / Didst issue from Thy virgin shrine / And to the corss a Victim go. |
| 4 |
Cújus potéstas glóriæ, Noménque cum prímum sónat, Et caélites et ínferi Treménte curvántur génu. |
So great the glory of Thy might, / If we but chance Thy name to sound / At once all heaven and hell unite / In bending low with awe profound. |
| 5 |
Te deprecámur, últimæ Mágnum diéi Júdicem, Armis supérnæ grátiæ Defénde nos ab hóstibus. |
Great Judge of all! in that last day / When friends shall fail and foes combine, / Be present then with us, we pray, / To guard us with Thine arm divine. |
| 6 |
Vírtus, hónor, laus, glória, Déo Pátri cum Fílio, Sáncto simul Paráclito, In sæculórum saécula. |
To God the Father, and the Son, / All praise and power and glory be: / With Thee, O holy Comforter! / Henceforth through all eternity. |
| ** |
Amen. |
Amen. |
