Creator alme 1 by Anonymous — Lyrics
1. Creator alme siderum,
Aeterna lux credentium,
Jesu redemptor omnium,
Intende votis supplicum.
2. Qui daemonis ne fraudibus,
Periret orbis impetu,
Amoris actus languidi,
Mundi medelam factus est.
3. Commune qui mundi nefas,
Ut expiares ad crucem,
E virginis sacrario,
Intacta prodis victima.

About Creator alme 1
This anonymous hymn has been a cornerstone of Christian devotion for centuries. Attributed by tradition to St Ambrose, though likely composed later, it is a powerful Latin text addressed to Christ the Redeemer. The lyrics speak of Christ's divine nature, his earthly mission to save humanity, and his ultimate triumph over evil. The SATB setting captures the solemnity and grandeur of this prayer, making it suitable for services of reflection and praise. It calls for protection against enemies and concludes with a doxology to the Holy Trinity.
