The Redeemer Takes the Song (Latin)

O Redemptor Sume Carmen (latim)

O Redeemer, take the songO Redémptor súme cármen
Of those who sing to you.Témet concinéntium.

Tree, fruitful with holy light,Árbor foéta álma lúce
Has brought forth this sacred thing,Hoc sacrándum prótulit,
This present crowd, inclined,Fert hoc prona praésens túrba
To the Savior of the world.Salvatóri saéculi.

Deign to consecrate,Consecráre tu dignáre,
King of eternal homeland,Rex perénnis pátriae,
This olive tree, living sign,Hoc olívum, sígnum vívum,
Against the rights of demons.Iúra cóntra daémonum.

That every sex may be renewedUt novétur séxus ómnis
By the anointing of Chrism:Unctióne Chrísmatis:
That the wounded glory of dignity may be healed.Ut sanétur sauciáta dignitátis glória.

With a cleansed mind from the sacred font,Lóta ménte sácro fónte
Crimes are driven away,Aufugántur crímina,
With a sacredly anointed forehead,Úncta frónte sacrosáncta
Graces flow in.Ínfluunt charís mata.

Born from the heart of the Father,Corde nátus ex Paréntis
Filling the womb of the Virgin,Alvum ímplens Vírginis,
Grant light, close deathPraésta lúcem, cláude mórtem
To the companions of Chrism.Chrísmatis consórtibus.

May this day be festive for us,Sit haec díes fésta nóbis,
For ages of ages,Saeculórum saéculis
May it be sacred, worthy of praise,Sit sacráta dígna láude,
And may it not grow old with time.Nec senescat témpore.
