O Nata Lux (50)
Eleanor Daley

O nata lux de lumine,
Jesu Redemptor sæcui, dignare
Clemens supplicum laudes preces que sumere.
Qui carne quondam contegi dignatus es pro perditis.
Nos membra confer effici, bui beati corporis.
O born light of light, Jesus, redeemer of the world, mercifully deem
worthy and accept the praises and prayers of your supplicants.
Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh for the sake of the lost
ones, grant us to be made members of your holy body.
