Creator alme siderum by Carlo Rossini — 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 siderum
This devotional hymn, Creator alme siderum, addresses Jesus as the eternal light of believers and the redeemer of all. The text implores him to heed the prayers of his suppliants, to save the world from the devil's deceptions, and to deliver humanity from sin. It recounts his birth from a virgin, his sacrifice on the cross, and the awe inspired by his glorious power, causing both heavenly beings and those in hell to tremble. The choir is asked to pray for divine grace to defend against enemies, ultimately offering praise, honour, and glory to God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, for all eternity. This sacred setting is arranged for SATB choir and is sung in Latin.
