1 Iesu, Redemptor omnium
quem lucis ante originem
parem Paternae gloriae
Pater supremus edidit.
2 Memento, rerum Conditor
nostri quod olim corporis
sacrata ab alvo Virginis
nascendo, formam sumpseris.
3 Testatur hoc praesens dies
currens per anni circulum
quod solus e sinu Patris
Mundi salus adveneris.
4 Hunc astra, tellus, aequora,
hunc omne, quod caelo subest,
salutis Auctorem novae
novo salutat cantico.
5 Et nos, beata quos sacri
rigavit unda sanguinis
natalis ob diem tui
hymni tributum solvimus.
