O nata lux-Thomas Tallis (c.1505-1585)

 

O nata lux de lumine, Jesu redemptor saeculi,

Dignare clemens supplicum laudes precesque sumere.

Qui carne quondam contegi dignatus es pro perditis

Nos membra confer effici Tui beati corporis.

 

O Light born of Light, Jesus, redeemer of the world,

mercifully deign to accept the praises and prayers of your suppliants.

O you who once deigned to be hidden in flesh on behalf of the lost,

grant us to be made members of your blessed body.

Beautiful Savior - F. Melius Christiansen (1871-1955)

 

Fair are the meadows,

Fairer the woodlands,

Robed in flow’rs of blooming spring;

Jesus is fairer, Jesus is purer,

He makes our sorrowing spirit sing.

 

Beautiful Savior! Lord of the Nations!

Son of God and Son of Man!

Glory and honor, praise, adoration,

Now and forever more be thine!

 

Text: from Münster Gesangbuch (1677)
