Teks 

 Conditor alme siderum

1 Cónditor alme síderum,
  ætérna lux credéntium,
  Christe, redémptor ómnium,
  exáudi preces súpplicum.

2 Qui cóndolens intéritu
  mortis períre sæculum,
  salvásti mundum lánguidum,
  donans reis remédium.

3 Vergénte mundi véspere,
  uti sponsus de thálamo,
  egréssus honestíssima
  Vírginis matris cláusula.

4 Cuius forti poténtiæ
  genu curvántur ómnia;
  cæléstia, terréstria
  nutu faténtur súbdita.

5 Te, Sancte, fide quæsumus,
  ventúre iudex sæculi,
  consérva nos in témpore
  hostis a telo pérfidi.

6 Sit, Christe, rex piíssime,
  tibi Patríque glória
  cum Spíritu Paráclito,
  in sempitérna sæcula. Amen.

 Creator alme siderum
 Creator alme siderum,
 Aeterna lux credentium
 Jesu Redemptor omnium,
 Intende votis supplicum.

 Qui daemonis ne fraudibus
 Periret orbit, impetu
 Amoris actus, languidi
 Mundi medela factus es.

 Commune qui mundi nefas
 Ut expiares; ad crucem 
 E Virginis sacrario 
 Intacta prodis victima.

 Cujus potestas gloriae, 
 Nomenque cum primum sonat
 Et coelites et inferi 
 Tremente curvantur genu.

 Te deprecamur ultimae 
 Magnum diei Judicem, 
 Armis supemae gratia; 
 Defende nos ab hostibus.

 Virtus, honor, laus, gloria 
 Deo Patri cum Filio, 
 Sancto simul Paraclito, 
 In saeculorum saecula.

 Creator of the Stars of Night
 Creator of the stars of night,
 Thy people’s everlasting light,
 Jesu, Redeemer, save us all,
 And hear Thy servants when they call.

 Thou, grieving that the ancient curse
 Should doom to death a universe,
 Hast found the medicine, full of grace,
 To save and heal a ruined race.

 Thou cam’st, the Bridegroom of the bride,
 As drew the world to evening-tide;
 Proceeding from a virgin shrine,
 The spotless victim all divine.

 At whose dread name, majestic now,
 All knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
 And things celestial Thee shall own,
 And things terrestrial, Lord alone.

 O Thou whose coming is with dread
 To judge and doom the quick and dead,
 Preserve us, while we dwell below,
 From every insult of the foe.

 To God the Father, God the Son,
 And God the Spirit, Three in One,
 Laud, honor, might, and glory be
 From age to age eternally.
