# Circumcision's rubric ("ex Sancti/12-25", see lauds-hymn-circumcision.yml's
# header for the fuller note) borrows Christmas Day's own Vespers/Matins
# hymn. Unlike the Laudes hymn (a plain word-substitution of the secular
# text), the Monastic Vespers/Matins hymn is a genuinely separate text --
# "Christe Redémptor ómnium" ([HymnusM Vespera], Sancti/12-25.txt), not the
# secular "Jesu, Redémptor ómnium" -- same house preference already applied
# to vespers-hymn-advent.yml's "Cónditor alme síderum". Latin sourced
# directly from that file; no English exists anywhere in the reference
# engine for this Monastic variant (only for the secular "Jesu, Redémptor"
# text, whose wording differs enough stanza-by-stanza -- Auctor/epithet
# choices, "a sede Patris" vs "e sinu Patris", etc. -- that reusing it
# outright would misrepresent the Latin), so the translation below is new,
# `draft`, following this project's usual practice for an unattested
# Monastic variant (cf. St. Scholastica's Lauds hymn). The closing doxology
# stanza reuses this project's already-verified standard English for
# "Glória tibi Dómine, Qui natus es de Vírgine..." (see lauds-hymn-holy-
# innocents.yml). Matins reuses this same hymn verbatim (the source's own
# "[HymnusM Matutinum] @:HymnusM Vespera" cross-reference) -- see the
# matins- sibling file.

    Christe Redémptor ómnium,
    Ex Patre Patris únice,
    Solus ante princípium
    Natus ineffabíliter.

    Tu lumen, tu splendor Patris,
    Tu spes perénnis ómnium:
    Inténde quas fundunt preces
    Tui per orbem fámuli.

    Meménto salútis Auctor,
    Quod nostri quondam córporis,
    Ex illibáta Vírgine
    Nascéndo, formam súmpseris.

    Sic præsens testátur dies,
    Currens per anni círculum,
    Quod solus a sede Patris
    Mundi salus advéneris.

    Hunc cælum, terra, hunc mare,
    Hunc omne quod in eis est,
    Auctórem advéntus tui,
    Laudans exsúltat cántico.

    Nos quoque, qui sancto tuo
    Redémpti sánguine sumus,
    Ob diem natális tui,
    Hymnum novum concínimus.

    Glória tibi Dómine,
    Qui natus es de Vírgine,
    Cum Patre et Sancto Spíritu,
    In sempitérna sǽcula.
    Amen.

    O Christ, Redeemer of us all,
    The Father's own, on Thee we call:
    Alone, before the world had place,
    Born forth ineffably of grace.

    Thou art the Father's Light and Splendor,
    Their endless hope who to Thee render;
    Accept the prayers and praise this day
    That through the world Thy servants pay.

    Salvation's Author, call to mind,
    How, taking form of humankind,
    Born of the Virgin undefiled,
    Thou in our flesh becam'st a Child.

    Thus testifies the present day,
    Through all the circling years' array,
    That Thou, the world's salvation, alone
    Camest forth from the Father's throne.

    Him heaven, and earth, and sea adore,
    Him all that they contain, and more,
    As Author of Thy coming here,
    With joyful song exulting, clear.

    And we, redeemed by that Thy Blood,
    And made, through it, the sons of God,
    Upon this day that saw Thy birth,
    Together sing a hymn of worth.

    All honor, laud, and glory be,
    O Jesu, Virgin-born, to thee;
    All glory, as is ever meet,
    To Father and to Paraclete.
    Amen.
