Magnificat - Your Life is Everlasting

Haec igitur nox est, This is the night quae peccatorum tenebras, columnae illuminatione purgavit. that with a pillar of fire banished the darkness of sin. Haec nox est, This is the night quae hodie per universum mundum, in Christo credentes that even now, throughout the world, sets Christian believers a vitiis saeculi, et caligine peccatorum segregatos, apart from worldly vices and from the gloom of sin, reddit gratiae, sociat sanctitati. leading them to grace and joining them to his holy ones. Haec nox est, This is the night in qua destructis vinculis mortis, when Christ broke the prison-bars of death Christus ab inferis victor ascendit. and rose victorious from the underworld. O mira circa nos tuae pietatis dignatio ! O wonder of your humble care for us! O inaestimabilis dilectio caritatis : O love, O charity beyond all telling, ut servum redimeres, Filium tradidisti ! to ransom a slave you gave away your Son! O certe necessarium Adae peccatum, O truly necessary sin of Adam, quod Christi morte deletum est ! destroyed completely by the Death of Christ! 119
