Original text and translations

Latin text

1. Auctor beate sæculi,
Christe Redemptor omnium:
Lumen Patris de lumine,
Deusque verus de Deo.

2. Amor coegit te tuus
Mortale corpus sumere,
Ut novus Adam redderes,
Quod vetus ille abstulerat.

3. Ille amor almus artifex
Terræ marisque, et siderum,
Errata patrum miserans,
Et nostra rumpens vincula.

4. Non corde discedat tuo
Vis illa amoris inclyti:
Hoc fonte gentes hauriant
Remissionis gratiam.

5. Percussum ad hoc est lancea,
Passumque ad hoc est vulnera:
Ut nos lavaret sordibus,
Unda fluente, et sanguine.

6. Decus Parenti, et Filio,
Sanctoque sit Spiritui,
Quibus potestas, gloria
Regnumque in omne est sæculum.
