will 0736c36494 Wire seasonal hymn-doxology into every plain-default Vespers hymn
Sunday's hymn ("Lucis Creator") is the one case whose Monastic source text
carries a real "*" seasonal-substitution marker (live-checked); every other
key (Mon-Sat, Advent, Lent, Passiontide, Paschaltide) is wired the same way
anyway as a deliberate broadening beyond the source, at the user's request
("the doxology is a neat way to stay tuned in to the season... we're doing a
remix, not a copy"). Each hymn's own natural ending is split into a matching
per-annum companion file, so a season/feast with no override reproduces the
original text exactly; only Nat/Epi/Pasch/Asc/Pent/Corp/Heart and the two
feast/date overrides from the previous commit actually change anything.

Real visible effect: hymns shown during Christmastide/Epiphanytide/Corpus
Christi/Sacred Heart (none of which get a distinct seasonal hymn, so these
were always the plain weekday defaults) now pick up the right doxology
instead of a generic ending; Ascensiontide and the Pentecost octave now
diverge from the rest of Paschaltide's doxology mid-season.

# Sourced from Divinum Officium's Monastic block ("[HymnusM Adv Vespera]",
# Psalterium/Special/Major Special.txt) — full separate Monastic text
# ("Cónditor alme síderum", the older/more familiar form of this hymn),
# not a substitution against the Roman "Creátor alme síderum". English is
# the given translation of the *Roman* text ("Bright builder of the
# heavenly poles... Jesus, Redeemer of mankind"), which differs from the
# Monastic Latin in specific imagery (stanza 2 especially — "lest the
# world perish by the deceit of the demon" vs. "grieving that the world
# would perish by the ruin of death"), not just word order — kept anyway
# as the closest available English, `draft`. Not live-query-verified (see
# TODO.md).

Cónditor alme síderum,
Ætérna lux credéntium,
Christe, Redémptor ómnium,
Exáudi preces súpplicum.
Qui cóndolens intéritu
Mortis períre sǽculum,
Salvásti mundum lánguidum,
Donans reis remédium,
Vergénte mundi véspere,
Uti sponsus de thálamo,
Egréssus honestíssima
Vírginis matris cláusula.
Cujus forti poténtiæ
Genu curvántur ómnia;
Cæléstia, terréstria
Nutu faténtur súbdita.
Te deprecámur, hágie,
Ventúre judex sǽculi,
Consérva nos in témpore
Hostis a telo pérfidi.

Bright builder of the heavenly poles,
Eternal light of faithful souls,
Jesus, Redeemer of mankind,
Our humble prayers vouchsafe to mind.
Who, lest the fraud of hell's black king
Should all men to destruction bring,
Didst, by an act of generous love,
The fainting world's physician prove.
Who, that thou mightst our ransom pay
And wash the stains of sin away,
Wouldst from a Virgin's womb proceed
And on the cross a victim bleed.
Whose glorious power, whose saving name
No sooner any voice can frame,
But heaven and earth and hell agree
To honour them with trembling knee.
Thee, Christ, who at the latter day
Shalt be our Judge, we humbly pray
Such arms of heavenly grace to send
As may thy Church from foes defend.
