Crux Fidelis - Faithful Cross - the 1962 Liber Usualis version
Day 85 of #100daysofchant
I love how the chorus repeats in two parts. Keeps you awake figuring out which chorus comes next. Also makes it a bit more interesting to sing along the chorus. And it is beautiful - recounting the story of Redemption from Eden to Bethlehem to the Upper Room to Calvary to Heaven.

Crux fidelis, inter omnes
arbor una nobilis:
nulla silva talem profert,
fronde, flore, germine.
Dulce lignum, dulces clavos,
dulce pondus sustinet.
Faithful cross, above all other:
one and only noble tree!
None in foliage, none in blossom,
none in fruit thy peer may be:
sweetest wood and sweetest iron,
sweetest weight is hung on thee.
De parentis protoplasti
Fraude Factor condolens,
Quando pomi noxialis
In necem morsu ruit:
Ipse lignum tunc notavit,
Damna ligni ut solveret.
Hoc opus nostræ salutis
Ordo depoposcerat;
Multiformis proditoris
Ars ut artem falleret,
Et medelam ferret inde,
Hostis unde læserat.
Quando venit ergo sacri
Plenitudo temporis,
Missus est ab arce Patris
Natus, orbis Conditor;
Atque ventre virginali
Carne amictus prodiit.
Vagit infans inter arcta
Conditus præsepia:
Membra pannis envoluta
Vrigo Mater alligat:
Et Dei manus pedesque
Stricta cingit fascia.
Lustra sex qui jam peregit,
Tempus implens corporis,
Sponte libera Redemptor
Passioni deditus,
Agnus in Crucis levatur
Immolandus stipite.
Felle potus ecce languet:
Spina, clavi, lancea
Mite corpus perforarunt:
Unda manat, et cruor:
Terra, pontus, astra, mundus,
Quo lavantur flumine!
Flecte ramos arbor alta,
Tensa laxa viscera,
Et rigor lentescat ille,
Quem dedit nativitas;
Et superni membra regis
Tende miti stipite.
Sola digna tu fuisti
Ferre mundi victimam;
Atque portum præparare
Arco mundo naufrago,
Quam sacer cruor perunxit,
Fusus Agni corpore.
Sempiterna sit beatæ
Trinitati gloria,
Æqua Patri, Filioque;
Par decus Paraclito:
Unius Trinique nomen
Laudet universitas.
