Hymnus
1. Veníte servi, súpplices,
1. Come, O you humble servants,
Et mente et ore extóllite
With your mind and voice,
Dignis beátum láudibus
With worthy praises,
Nomen Dei cum cántico.
With a hymn, lift up the blessed name of God.
2. Hoc namque tempus illud est,
2. For this is that season,
Quo sæculórum júdicem
When an unjust sentence
Injústa morti trádidit
Handed over the Judge
Mortálium senténtia.
Of the world to death.
3. Et nos amóre débito,
3. And we also with the due love
Timóre justo súbditi,
And the homage of a just fear,
Advérsus omnes ímpetus
Oppose every attack
Quos sævus hostis íncutit.
With which the cruel enemy strikes us.
4. Unum rogémus et Patrem
4. We pray the one Father God,
Deum regémque Fílium
And the royal Son,
Simúlque Sanctum Spíritum,
Likewise, the Holy Spirit,
In Trinitáte Dóminum.
The Lord in Trinity.
Amen.
Amen.
