Rh utraque unum: veni, et salva hominem, quem de limo formasti. makest of two one: come to save man, whom Thou hast made of the dust of the earth!

EMMANUEL, rex et legifer noster, expectatio Gentium, et Salvator earum: veni ad salvandum nos, Domine Deus noster.

EMMANUEL, our King and our Law-giver, Longing of the Gentiles; yea, and salvation thereof: come to save us, O Lord our God!

 11.

ESU, Redemptor omnium,

Quem lucis ante originem

Parem paternæ gloriæ

Pater supremus edidit:

ESU! Redeemer of the world!

Who, ere the earliest dawn of light,

Wast from eternal ages born,

Immense in glory as in might:

Tu lumen et splendor Patris,

Tu spes perennis omnium,

Intende quas fundunt preces

Tui per orbem servuli.

Immortal Hope of all mankind!

In whom the Father's face we see,

Hear Thou the prayers Thy people pour

This day throughout the world to Thee.

Memento, rerum Conditor,

Nostri quod olim corporis,

Sacrata ab alvo Virginis

Nascendo, formam sumpseris.

Remember, O Creator Lord!

That in the Virgin's sacred womb

Thou wast conceived, and of her flesh

Didst our mortality assume.

Testatur hoc præsens dies,

Currens per anni circulum,

Quod solus e sinu Patris

Mundi salus adveneris.

This ever-blest recurring day

Its witness bears that all alone,

From Thy own Father's bosom forth,

To save the world Thou camest down.
