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.

Translated Text

O Light of light, by love inclined, Jesu, redeemer of mankind
With loving-kindness deign to hear From suppliant voices praise and prayer
Thou who to raise our souls from hell Didst deign in fleshly form to dwell,
Vouchsafe us, when our race is run, In thy fair Body to be one.
