These
hymns are entirely concerned with the Immaculate Conception and only refer to
one event at Lourdes: Our Lady’s words to Bernadette: que soy era Immaculada Councepciou.
Te
dicimus praeconio,
Intacta
Mater Numinis,
Nostris
benigna laudibus
Tuam
repende gratiam.
Sontes
Adami posteri
Infecta
proles gignimur:
Labis
paternae nescia
Tu
sola, Virgo, crederis.
Caput
draconis invidi
Tu
conteris vestigio,
Et
sola gloriam refers
Intaminatae
originis.
O
gentis humanae decus,
Quae
tollis Hevae opprobrium,
Tu
nos tuere supplices,
Tu
nos labantes erige.
Serpentis
antiqui potens
Astus
retunde et impetus,
Ut
caelitum perennibus
Per
te fruamur gaudiis.
Jesu,
tibi sit gloria,
Qui
natus es de Virgine,
Cum
Patre et almo Spiritu,
In
sempiterna saecula.
We proclaim you, pure Mother of divinity,
graciously bestow your grace upon our praises. We guilty progeny of Adam are
born infected; you alone are believed to have not known paternal ruin. You crushed under foot the head of the
envious serpent, and you alone bear the glory of an undefiled origin. O honor
of the human race, who take away the reproach of Eve, watch over us who pray to
you, guide us when we fall. Powerfully repel the cunning and attacks of the
ancient serpent, that through you we may enjoy the eternal gladness of heaven.
