Christe Redemptor omnium by Felice Anerio — Lyrics
CHRISTE, Redemptor omnium,
ex Patre, Patris unice,
solus ante principium
natus ineffabiliter,
Tu lumen, tu splendor Patris,
tu spes perennis omnium,
intende quas fundunt preces
tui per orbem servuli.
Salutis auctor, recole
quod nostri quondam corporis,
ex illibata Virgine
nascendo, formam sumpseris.
Hic praesens testatur dies,
currens per anni circulum,

About Christe Redemptor omnium
This devotional hymn, Christe Redemptor omnium, is set in Latin for SSAATTB choir. The text, a prayer to Christ the Redeemer, reflects on his divine nature, his Incarnation, and his eventual sacrifice. It speaks of Christ as the light and glory of the Father, the eternal hope of all, born from the Virgin Mary. The composer, Felice Anerio, crafts music to accompany these profound theological statements, suitable for sacred occasions. The hymn rejoices in Christ’s advent, acknowledging him as the creator praised by heaven, earth, and sea, and offering a new song of praise from those redeemed by his blood. It is a powerful expression of faith and adoration.
