Trinitas summo

Slower Faster

Cónditor rerum, Pater, alma virtus,
quos tuæ vitæ facis atque formæ
esse consórtes, fídei fac usque dona meréri. 		Father, maker of all things, blessed power,
make us faithful and grant us merit
as you make us share in your life and appearance.
Candor ætérnæ speculúmque lucis,
Nate, quos dicis sociásque fratres,
pálmites viti tibi nos inésse da viridántes.
 O Firstborn, brightness and reflection of eternal light,
make us into green shoots of your vine
as you call us brothers and unite us.
Cáritas, ignis, píetas, poténti
lúmine ac blando móderans creáta,
Spíritus, mentem rénova, fovéto íntima cordis. 		O Spirit, charity, fire, tenderness, power,
guiding creation by an alluring light,
renew our minds and warm our heart’s innermost chambers.
Hospes o dulcis, Trias obsecránda,
nos tibi iugi fac amóre nexos,
pérpetes donec modulémur hymnos teque fruámur. Amen. 		O Trinity, sweet guest whom we beseech,
unite us to yourself, for we owe everything to you,
as we sing neverending hymns and find our delight in you.
