Iesu, Redemptor omnium

Jesus, the Ransomer of man,

Who, ere created light began,

Didst from the sovereign Father spring,

His power and glory equalling.

The Father's Light and Splendor Thou,

Their endless hope to Thee that bow;

Accept the prayers and praise to-day

That through the world Thy servants pay.

Salvation's Author, call to mind

How, taking form of humankind,

Born of a Virgin undefiled,

Thou in man's flesh becam'st a Child.

Thus testifies the present day,

Through every year in long array,

That Thou, salvation's source alone,

Proceedest from the Father's throne.

The heavens above, the rolling main

And all that earth's wide realms contain,

With joyous voice now loudly sing

The glory of their new-born King.

And we who, by Thy precious Blood

From sin redeemed, are marked for God,

On this the day that saw Thy birth,

Sing the new song of ransomed earth.

O Lord, the Virgin-born, to Thee

Eternal praise and glory be,

Whom with the Father we adore

And Holy Ghost forevermore.

Amen.
