Summae Deus

Summae Deus clementiae (saec. VI-VII)

Latinam Summae Deus clementiae mundique factor machinae, qui trinus almo numine unusque firmas omnia, Nostros piis cum canticis fletus benigne suscipe, quo corde puro sordibus te perfruamur largius. Lumbos adure congruis tu caritatis ignibus, accincti ut adsint perpetim tuisque prompti adventibus, Ut, quique horas noctium nunc concinendo rumpimus, donis beatae patriae ditemur omnes affatim. Praesta, Pater piisime, Patrique compar Unice, cum Spiritu Paraclito regnans per omne saeculum. Amen.	English O God of supreme mercy and Maker of the machine of the world, Thou who are Three in gracious divinity and One Thou strengthen all, With pious canticles our weeping kindly accept, so that in a heart pure from sordidnesses Thee we may enjoy lavishly. The loins, Burn with what is suitable Thou! With the fires of charity, girded that they may be present perpetually and ready for Thine advents, And that we, who the hours of the nights now, with what has to be sung, break, with gifts of the blessed land we all may be enriched sufficiently. Grant this, Father most tender, and Only Equal to the Father, with the Spirit Paraclete reigning through every age. Amen.
