Hymnus
1. Qua Christus hora sítiit,
1. The hour when Christ thirsted
Crucem vel in qua súbiit,
Or submitted himself to the cross,
Quos præstat in hac psállere
When he grants those who sing
Ditet siti justítiæ.
This hour to be enriched with a thirst for righteousness.
2. Simul sit his esúries,
2. At the same time may they hunger
Quam ipse de se sátiet,
That himself might fill them with himself,
Crimen sit ut fastídium
That wearied by sin they may
Virtúsque desidérium.
Desire virtue.
3. Charísma Sancti Spíritus
3. May the gifts of the Holy Spirit
Sic ínfluat psalléntibus,
So pour down upon those who praise you
Ut carnis æstus frígeat
That the heat of flesh may grow cold
Et mentis algor férveat.
And cold souls might become fervent.
4. Christum rogámus et Patrem,
4. We ask Christ and the Father
Christi Patrísque Spíritum,
And the Spirit of Christ and the Father,
Unum potens per ómnia,
One power through all things,
Fove precántes, Trínitas.
O Trinity, cherish those who pray to you.
Amen
Amen
