Hymn: Verbum supernum prodiens (chant)

Verbum supernum prodiens, 
a patre olim exiens, 
qui natus orbi subvenis 
cursu declivi temporis,
illumina nunc pectora 
tuoque amore concrema, 
audita ut praeconia 
sint pulsa tandem lubrica;
Iudexque [bad word] post aderis 
rimari facta pectoris, 
reddens vicem pro abditis 
iustisque regnum pro bonis,
non demum artemur mails 
pro qualitate criminis, 
sed [bad word] beatis compotes 
simus perennes caelibes.
Gloria tibi, trinitas, 
aequalis una deltas 
et ante omne saeculum 
et nunc et in perpetuum.

Translation

Word proceeding from on high, 
from the father before time, 
who was born to save the world 
in the course of time's decline,
now ignite these hearts 
and consume them with your love, 
so that when you are proclaimed 
we may cast off our crimes;
And when you come to judge us 
and examine our hearts' deeds, 
giving punishment for our secret evils 
and justice for our goodness,
let us not be punished
according to the depth of our guilt,
but with the blessed
may we live forever pure.
Glory to you, trinity, 
one coequal godhead, 
before all ages, now and forever.
