Hymnus
Magnæ Deus poténtiæ, qui ex aquis ortum genus partim remíttis gúrgiti, partim levas in áera,
Demérsa lymphis ímprimens, subvécta cælis írrogans, ut, stirpe una pródita, divérsa répleant loca.
These low obscured, on airy wing Exalted those, that either race, Though from one element they spring, Might serve Thee in a different place.
Largíre cunctis sérvulis, quos mundat unda sánguinis, nescíre lapsus críminum nec ferre mortis tædium,
Grant, Lord, that we Thy servants all, Saved by Thy tide of cleansing Blood, No more ‘neath sin’s dominion fall, Nor fear the thought of death’s dark flood!
Ut culpa nullum déprimat, nullum levet iactántia, elísa mens ne cóncidat, eláta mens ne córruat.
Thy varied love each spirit bless, The humble cheer, the high control; Check in each heart its proud excess, But raise the meek and contrite soul!
Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, cum Spíritu Paráclito regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.
Almighty Father, hear our cry, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High, Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.
