Creator alme siderum by Anonymous — Lyrics
1. Creator alme siderum,
Aeterna lux credentium,
Jesu redemptor omnium,
Intende votis supplicum.
2. Qui daemonis ne fraudibus,
Periret orbis impetu,
Amoris actus languidi,
Mundi medelam factus est.
3. Commune qui mundi nefas,
Ut expiares ad crucem,
E virginis sacrario,
Intacta prodis victima.

About Creator alme siderum
A venerable office hymn for unison voices, Creator alme siderum is sung in Latin during Advent. Its Latin text, which translates to 'Creator of the starry heavens', addresses Jesus Christ as the eternal light of believers and the redeemer of all. The hymn recounts Christ's incarnation and sacrifice, his victory over evil, and his role as the ultimate judge. It concludes with a plea for divine protection and a doxology praising God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
