Hymnus
O nata lux de lúmine, Iesu, redémptor sǽculi, dignáre clemens súpplicum laudes precésque súmere.
Præ sole vultu flámmeus, ut nix amíctu cándidus, in monte dignis téstibus apparuísti cónditor.

Qui carne quondam cóntegi dignátus es pro pérditis, nos membra confer éffici tui beáti córporis.
Laudes tibi nos pángimus, diléctus es qui Fílius, quem Patris atque Spíritus splendor revélat ínclitus. Amen.
