Te saeculorum Principem

Hymnus zum Christ-König-Fest, aufgenommen in der ehemaligen Klosterkirche St. Marien in Heiligenrode zwischen den Plastiklorberbäumen für die Deko zur Hubertusmesse. Eine (nicht sangbare) englische Übersetzung lautet: 1. Thou, Prince of all ages, Thou, O Christ, the King of the nations, we acknowledge Thee the one Judge of all hearts and minds. 2. The wicked mob screams out. “We don't want Christ as king,“ While we, with shouts of joy, hail Thee as the world's supreme King. 3. O Christ, peace-bringing Prince, subjugate the rebellious minds: And in Thy love, bring together in one flock those going astray. 4. For this, with arms outstretched, Thou hung, bleeding, on the Cross, and the cruel spear that pierced Thee, showed man a Heart burning with love. 5. For this, Thou art hidden on our altars under the form of bread and wine, and pour out on Thy children from Thy pierced side the grace of salvation. 6
