Translation of the song O nata lux artist Thomas Tallis

O nata lux de lumine

O Light born of Light,

Jesu redemptor saeculi

Jesus, redeemer of the world,

Dignare clemens supplicum

with loving-kindness deign to receive

Laudes preces que sumere

suppliant praise and prayer.

Qui carne quondam contegi

Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh

Dignatus es pro perditis

for the sake of the lost,

Nos membra confer effici

grant us to be members

Tui beati corporis

of thy blessed body.
