In Quadragesima. / Ad Officium lectionis, Feria VI: Hebdomada I & III diurno




In Liturgica Horarum this hymn by the Venerable Bede is appointed for Fridays, Office of Readings, in the daytime. But in the Analecta Hymnica it is listed as a Lenten hymn without any indication of when it was used.  

Adesto, Christe, cordibus,
Celsa redemptis Caritas,
Infunde nostris fervidos
Fletus, rogamus, voeibus.

Ad te preces, piissime
Iesu, fide profundimus,
Dimitte, Christe, quaesumus,
Factis malum quod fecimus.

Sanctae crucis signaculo
Tuo sacrato corpore
Defende nos ut filios,
Omnes rogamus, undique.
