LYRICS

Latin

O nata lux, de lumine,
Jesu redemptor saeculi,
Dignare clemens supplicum
Laudes preces que sumere.
Qui carne quondam contegi
Dignatus es pro perditis,
Nos membra confer effici
Tui beati corporis.

English

O Light born of Light,

Jesus, redeemer of the world,
With loving-kindness deign to receive
Suppliant praise and prayer.
Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh
For the sake of the lost,
Grant us to be members
Of Thy blessed body.
