Author Circumcision's own Matins/Lauds/Vespers hymn

Closes the last content gap flagged when Circumcision was added: its
rubric borrows Christmas Day's propers wholesale, but Christmas Day
itself has no hymn authored anywhere in vu yet. Lauds reuses the
already-verified Christmas Octave Sunday text (byte-identical in the
source); Vespers/Matins use the Monastic "Christe Redemptor omnium",
a genuinely separate hymn from the secular "Jesu, Redemptor omnium",
with a fresh draft English translation since none exists in the
reference engine for that variant.

# Circumcision's own rubric ("[Rank]" block, Sancti/01-01.txt) reads "ex
# Sancti/12-25" -- it borrows Christmas Day's own propers wholesale except
# where it has its own (collect, Benedictus/Magnificat antiphons). Christmas
# Day itself has no authored hymn files of its own yet (a separate, larger
# gap -- Dec 25 doesn't resolve as its own winner id at all, see TODO.md),
# so this is a direct copy of the identical, already-verified text from
# lauds-hymn-christmas-octave-sunday.yml ("A solis ortus cardine", Divino
# Afflatu 1954 Lauds live query) rather than a new translation -- Christmas
# Day's own [Hymnus Laudes] in Sancti/12-25.txt is byte-identical to the
# Octave Sunday's. The Monastic ([HymnusM Laudes]) form is only a handful
# of word substitutions against this same text (auctor/Auctor,
# Concépit alvo/Verbo concépit, etc.) -- not modeled, same "known,
# deliberate simplification" as the doxology-substitution-only hymns
# flagged in TODO.md.

A solis ortus cárdine
Ad usque terræ límitem,
Christum canámus Príncipem,
Natum María Vírgine.
Beátus auctor sǽculi
Servíle corpus índuit:
Ut carne carnem líberans,
Ne pérderet quos cóndidit.
Castæ Paréntis víscera
Cæléstis intrat grátia:
Venter Puéllæ báiulat
Secréta, quæ non nóverat.
Domus pudíci péctoris
Templum repénte fit Dei:
Intácta nésciens virum,
Concépit alvo Fílium.
Enítitur puérpera,
Quem Gábriel prædíxerat,
Quem ventre Matris géstiens,
Baptísta clausum sénserat.
Fœno iacére pértulit:
Præsépe non abhórruit:
Et lacte módico pastus est,
Per quem nec ales ésurit.
Gaudet chorus cæléstium,
Et Angeli canunt Deo;
Palámque fit pastóribus
Pastor, Creátor ómnium.
Iesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre, et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

From lands that see the sun arise
To earth's remotest boundaries,
The Virgin-born today we sing,
The Son of Mary, Christ the King.
Blest Author of this earthly frame,
To take a servant's form He came,
That, liberating flesh by flesh,
Whom He had made might live afresh.
In that chaste parent's holy womb
Celestial grace hath found its home;
And she, as earthly bride unknown,
Yet calls that Offspring blest her own.
The mansion of the modest breast
Becomes a shrine where God shall rest:
The pure and undefilèd one
Conceived in her womb the Son.
That Son, that Royal Son she bore,
Whom Gabriel's voice had told afore;
Whom, in His mother yet concealed,
The infant Baptist had revealed.
The manger and the straw He bore,
The cradle did He not abhor;
By milk in infant portions fed,
Who gives e'en fowls their daily bread.
The heavenly chorus filled the sky,
The Angels sang to God on high,
What time to shepherds, watching lone,
They made creation's Shepherd known.
All honor, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-born to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.
