Original text and translations

Latin text

Christe, redemptor omnium,
Ex Patre, Patris unice,
Solus ante principium
Natus ineffabiliter.

Tu lumen, tu splendor Patris,
Tu spes perennis omnium,
Intende quas fundunt preces
Tui per orbem famuli.

Memento salutis auctor,
Quod nostri quondam corporis
Ex illibata Virgine
Nascendo formam sumpseris.

Hic praesens testatur dies,
Currens per anni circulum,
Quod solus a sede Patris
Mundi salus adveneris.

Hunc caelum, terra, hunc mare,
Hunc omne quod in eis est,
Auctorem adventus tui,
Laudans exsultat cantico.

Nos quoque qui sancto tuo,
Redempti sanguine sumus,
Ob diem natalis tui,
Hymnum novum concinimus.

Gloria tibi Domine,
Qui natus es de Virgine,
Cum Patre et Sancto Spiritu
In sempiterna saecula.
Amen.
