# ("Jesu Redémptor ómnium") -- the reference engine's votive-office
# dropdown separates the two categories as C4 ("Confessoris Pontificis")

    Jesu coróna célsior,
    Et véritas sublímior,
    Qui confiténti sérvulo
    Reddis perénne prǽmium:

    Da supplicánti cœ́tui,
    Obténtu hujus óptimi,
    Remissiónem críminum
    Rumpéndo nexum vínculi.

    Anni recúrso témpore,
    Dies illúxit lúmine,
    Quo Sanctus hic de córpore
    Polum migrávit prǽpotens.

    Hic vana terræ gáudia
    Et luculénta prǽdia,
    Pollúta sorde députans,
    Ovans tenet cæléstia.

    Te, Christe Rex piíssime,
    Hic confiténdo júgiter,
    Calcávit hostem fórtiter,
    Supérbum ac satéllitem.

    Virtútum actu et fide,
    Confessiónis órdine,
    Jejúna membra déferens,
    Dapes supérnas óbtinet.

    Proínde te, piíssime,
    Precámur omnes súpplices,
    Ut hujus almi grátia
    Nobis remíttas débita.

    Glória Patri Dómino,
    Glória Unigénito,
    Una cum Sancto Spíritu,
    In sempitérna sǽcula.
    Amen.

    Jesu, eternal truth sublime,
    Through endless years the same!
    Thou crown of those who through all time
    Confess thy holy name:

    Thy suppliant people, through the prayer
    Of thy blest saint, forgive;
    For his dear sake, thy wrath forbear,
    And bid our spirits live.

    Again returns the sacred day,
    With heavenly glory bright,
    Which saw him go upon his way
    Into the realms of light.

    All objects of our vain desire,
    All earthly joys and gains,
    To him were but as filthy mire;
    And now with thee he reigns.

    Thee, Jesu, his all-gracious Lord,
    Confessing to the last,
    He trod beneath him Satan's fraud,
    And stood forever fast.

    In holy deeds of faith and love,
    In fastings and in prayers,
    His days were spent; and now above
    Thy heavenly feast he shares.

    Then, for his sake thy wrath lay by,
    And hear us while we pray;
    And pardon us, O thou most high,
    On this his festal day.

    All glory to the Father be;
    And sole Incarnate Son;
    Praise, holy Paraclete, to thee;
    While endless ages run.
    Amen.
