Lenten Hymn from the Durham Hymnal


Use is unclear.

SUMME SALVATOR OMNIUM,
indultor & peccaminum,
lesu, quadragenarii
consecrator ieiunii,

da pectoris munditiam,
corporis castimoniam,
ne valeat inrumpere
corruptor pudicitiae,

qui protoplastum vetiro
illiciens edulio
in huius vite torridum
detruserat ergastulum.

Nos, filii aecclesiae
tuo redempti sanguine,
voce precamur humili,
ne pereamus miseri:

Sana languencum vulnera,
dum restringuntur corpora,
dele virus malitiae
medela parsimoniae,

sicut in sterquilinio
benignitatis oculo
dignatus es revisere
lob in favilla & cinere.

Presta, pater, per filium

Lofty Savior of all, pardoner of sins, consecrator of the forty-day fast, grant cleansing of the heart, chastity of body, that the destroyer of modesty not be able to break in, who by the forbidden food thrust down the first man into dry prison of this life. We, sons of the Church, redeemed by your blood, pray with humble voice that we not perish miserably: heal our languishing wounds, while our bodies are restored, blot out the virus of evil with the remedy of fasting, just as you vouchsafed to look with a kind eye on Job upon the dunghill in dust and ashes.
