Motet: O nata lux de lumine – Thomas Tallis (c.1505-1585)
[The Sixteen]
O light born of light,
Jesus, redeemer of all ages,
deign to accept the praises
and prayers of your supplicants.
You, who deigned to be clothed in flesh
for the sake of the lost ,
make us to become members
of your mystical body.
O nata lux de lumine
Jesu redemptor saeculi,
Dignare clemens supplicum
Laudes precesque sumere.
Qui carne quondam contegi
Dignatus es pro perditis.
Nos membra confer effici,
Tui beati corporis
