Latin
Christe redemptor omnium
Ex Patre Patris unice
Solus ante principium
Natus ineffabiliter.
Memento, salutis Auctor
Quod nostri quondam corporis
Ex illibata virgine
Nascendo, formam sumpseris.
English
Christ, the Father's only Son,
whose death for all redemption won,
before the worlds, of God most high,
begotten all ineffably.
Salvation's author, call to mind
how, taking the form of humankind,
born of a Virgin undefiled,
You in man's flesh became a Child.
