1. Christe, Redémptor ómnium,
1. Most dear Redeemer of us all,
Consérva tuos fámulos,
Protect your servants in their need,
Beátæ semper Vírginis
Accept the Blessed Virgin's prayers,
Placátus sanctis précibus.
Who deigns for us to intercede.
2. Beáta quoque ágmina
2. All choirs of holy Angels too,
Cæléstium spirítuum,
Who praise our God both night and day,
Prætérita, præséntia,
Both past and present woes dispel,
Futúra mala péllite.
All future evils keep away.
3. Vates ætérni Júdicis
3. Great prophets of the Judge supreme,
Apostolíque Dómini,
And keen Apostles of our Lord,
Supplíciter expóscimus
We humbly beg the powerful aid
Salvári vestris précibus.
Your intercession will afford.
4. Mártyres Dei íncliti
4. All martyrs for God's holy Name,
Confessorésque lúcidi,
Who gloried in Christ's death to share,
Vestris oratiónibus
And those whose lives have honored him,
Nos ferte in cæléstibus.
Bring us to heaven by your prayer.
5. Chori sanctárum Vírginum
5. All monks and nuns who reap in joy
Monachorúmque ómnium,
The fruits of ardent toil and praise,
Simul cum Sanctis ómnibus
Help us to earn our sight of God
Consórtes Christi fácite.
With contemplation's purest gaze.
6. Gentem auférte pérfidam
6. Drive far the traitorous infidel,
Credéntium de fínibus,
From lands wherein your faithful dwell
Ut Christo laudes débitas
So we to Christ due hymns of praise
Persolvámus alácriter.
Henceforth, with gladsome hearts may raise.
7. Glória Patri ingénito,
7. To You, O Father, born of none,
Ejúsque Unigénito,
And You, O sole-begotten Son,
Una cum Sancto Spíritu,
With holy Ghost, all glory be
In sempitérna sǽcula.
From age to age eternally.
Amen.
Amen.
