Tu lumen, tu splendor Patris,
Tu spes perennis omnium:
Intende quas fundunt preces,
Tui per orbem famuli.

4
Sic praesens testatur dies,
Currens per anni circulum:
Quod solus a sede Patris,
Mundi salus adveneris.

6
Nos quoque qui sancto tuo,
Redempti sanguine sumus:
Ob diem natalis tui,
Hymnum novum concinimus. [‘concinnimus’ in source]
