Omnis fidelis gaudeat

Let every faithful heart rejoice,
And render thanks to God on high :
And with each power of soul and voice
Extol His praises worthily.

Into this dark world Jesus came,
And all men might His form behold ;
While to the limits of the same
He passed, that we might be consoled.

To all He showed that gentle Face :
On good and bad alike it shone :
Its perfect loveliness and grace
The Lord of all concealed from none.

O love of Christ beyond all love !
O clemency beyond all thought !
O grace all praise of men above,
Whereby such gifts to men are brought !

O Blessed Face, whose praise we sing !
Here in the Way we worship Thee :
That in the Country of our King
Filled with Thy glory we may be !

To God on High be glory meet !
Equal to Thee, Eternal Son !
Equal to Thee, Blest Paraclete,
While never-ending ages run ! Amen.
