Texts and Translations
CEDIT, HYEMS
BE GONE, WINTER!
Nox, et tenebrae, et nubila
confusa mundi et turbida,
lux intrat, albescit polus,
Christus venit, discedite!
Night -- confused, disordered,
Disturbed darkness of the world -Light breaks in, the heavens grow bright,
Christ has come! Depart!
—Hymnus Matutinus (Morning Hymn, lines 1-4)
from Cathemerinon II by Prudentius (348-ca.410)
(Trans. by Stephen Self. Used by permission.)
Cedit, hyems, tua durities,
frigor abiit; rigor et glacies
brumalis et feritas, rabies,
torpor et improba segnities,
pallor et ira, dolor et macies.
Now, Winter, yieldeth all they dreariness,
The cold is over, all they frozenness,
All frost and fog, and wind’s untowardness.
All sullenness, uncomely sluggishness,
Paleness and anger, grief and haggardness.
Nunc amor aureus advenies,
indomitos tibi subjicies,
tendo manus...
Now Love, all golden, comest thou to me,
Bowing the tameless ‘neath thine empery.
I stretch my hands...
—MS of Benedictbeuern (Carmina Burana)
(Trans. by Helen Waddell,1929. Used by permission of
Constable & Robinson Publishing Co., London.)

We are glad that we have a Father to trust.
We are glad that we have a Father to rely on.
Where was Jesus born, where was He born?

That is where the Father was born for sure.
Praise be to Him.
We thank Thee for this day.
Gracious Father.
Praise be to thee, Father.
Merciful Father.
