Original lyrics

O nata lux

O nata lux de lumine
Jesu redemptor saeculi
Dignare clemens supplicum
Laudes preces que sumere
 
Qui carne quondam contegi
Dignatus es pro perditis
Nos membra confer effici
Tui beati corporis
 
English
Translation

O Light born (of Light)

O Light born of Light,
Jesus, redeemer of the world,
with loving-kindness deign to receive
suppliant praise and prayer.
 
Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh
for the sake of the lost,
grant us to be members
of thy blessed body.
