Scelésta turba clámitat : Regnáre Christum nólumus : Te nos ovántes ómnium Regem suprémum dícimus. O Christe, Princeps Pácifer, Mentes rebélles súbjice: Tuóque amóre dévios, Ovíle in unum cóngrega. Ad hoc cruénta ab árbore Pendes apértis bráchiis, Diráque fossum cúspide Cor igne flagrans éxhibes. Ad hoc in aris ábderis Vini dapísque imágine, Fundens salútem fíliis Transverberáto péctore. Te natiónum Præsides Honóre tollant público, Colant magístri, júdices, Leges et artes éxprimant. Submíssa regum fúlgeant Tibi dicáta insígnia: Mitíque sceptro pátriam Domósque subde cívium. Jesu tibi sit glória, Qui sceptra mundi témperas, Cum Patre, et almo Spíritu, In sempitérna sæcula. Amen. | The Hymn Lord of the ages evermore, Each nation's King, the wide world o'er, O Christ, our only Judge thou art, And Searcher of the mind and heart. Through Sin with rebel voice maintain, We will not have this Christ to reign, Far other, Lord, shall be our cry, Who hail thee King of kings most High. O thou eternal Prince of peace, Subdue man's pride, bid error cease, Permit not sin to wax o'er-bold, The strayed bring home within the fold. For this thou hangedst on the Tree With arms outstretched in loving plea; For this thou shewedst forth thy Heart, On fire with love, pierced by the dart. And yet that wounded side sheds grace Forth from the altar's holy place, Where, veiled 'neath humblest bread and wine, Abides for man the life divine. Earth's noblest rulers to thee raise Their homage due of public praise; Teachers and judges thee confess; Art, science, law, thy truth express. Let kings be fain to dedicate To thee the emblems of their state; Rule thou each nation from above, Rule o'er the people's homes in love. Proper Doxology All praise, King Jesu, be to thee, The Lord of all in majesty; Whom with the Father we adore, And Holy Ghost for evermore. Amen. |
