Christe Redemptor omnium in festo Omnium Sanctorum by Tomás Luis de Victoria — Lyrics
CHRISTE, redemptor omnium,
conserva tuos famulos,
beatae semper Virginis
placatus sanctis precibus.
Beata quoque agmina
caelestium spirituum,
praeterita, praesentia,
futura mala pellite.
Vates aeterni iudicis
apostolique Domini,
suppliciter exposcimus
salvari vestris precibus.
Martyres Dei incliti
confessoresque lucidi,
vestris orationibus
nos ferte in caelestibus.
Chori sanctarum virginum
monachorumque omnium,
simul cum sanctis omnibus

About Christe Redemptor omnium in festo Omnium Sanctorum
This sacred Office hymn by Tomás Luis de Victoria is a powerful invocation for All Saints' Day. The text prays for protection from all evils, past, present, and future, seeking salvation through the intercession of saints, martyrs, apostles, virgins, and all the heavenly host. The composer’s setting for ATTB voices captures the solemnity and earnest plea of the Latin lyrics, urging the faithful to be united as one flock under God. It calls for the removal of the faithless, that all may be ruled by the Father as one, and concludes with a doxology giving glory to the Trinity. This piece is a profound expression of Catholic devotion, seeking heavenly aid for the earthly church.
