Thomas Tallis: O nata lux de lumine
office hymn at Lauds of the Feast of the Transfiguration
| O nata lux de lumine, Jesu redemptor saeculi, dignare clemens supplicum Laudes preces que sumere. Qui carne quondam contegi Dignatus es pro perditis. Nos membra confer effici Tui beati corporis. |
O light born of light, Jesus, Redeemer of the world, mercifully deign to hear our prayers and supplications which we raise. You who once did accept the covering of flesh for the sake of the lost, grant that we may become members of your blessed body. |
