O
clara lux Coloniae
Alberte,
doctor optime,
Thomae
magister inclyte,
Hymni
tributum suscipe.
Te
sanctitatis lampadem,
Te
veritatis indicem,
Te
caritate flammeum
Vox
prædicat fidelium.
Cunctos
fideles edoce
Quæ
sunt caduca spernere,
Cunctasque
mentes erige
Ad
vera cæli gaudia.
Nunc
e superna patria
Tuis
adesto fratribus,
Petrique
navem fluctibus
Maris
frementis eripe.
Sit,
Christe, Rex piissime,
Jugis
tibi victoria:
Patri
sit ac Paraclito
Laudis
perenne canticum.
O Albert, bright light of Cologne, greatest
doctor, renowned teacher of Thomas, receive the tribute of this hymn. The voice
of the faithful proclaims you a lamp of holiness, revealer of truth, enkindled
with love. Teach the faithful to spurn whatever is merely passing away, raise
all minds to the joys of heaven. Now from the heavenly fatherland help your
brothers: rescue the bark of Peter from the raging waves of the sea. To you, O Christ,
most merciful King, be eternal victory,
to the Father and the Paraclete be an everlasting hymn of praise.
