Tibi Christe splendor Patris

Jesu, brightness of the Father!
Life and strength of all who live!
In the presence of the Angels,
Glory to thy name we give;

And thy wondrous praise rehearse,
Singing in alternate verse.
Hail, too, ye angelic powers!
Hail, ye thrones celestial!

Hail, Physician of Salvation!
Guide of life, blest Raphael!
Who, the Foe of all mankind
Didst in links of iron bind.

Oh, may Christ, by thy protection,
Shelter us from harm this day;
Keep us pure in flesh and spirit;
Save us from the enemy;

And vouchsafe us, of his grace,
In his Paradise a place.
Glory to th’ Almighty Father,
Sing we now in anthems sweet;

Glory to the great Redeemer;
Glory to the Paraclete
Three in One, and One in Three,
Throughout all eternity.
