此日課聖詩於基督君王日前夕晚禱使用,包括羅馬舊禮日課與新禮日課。

拉丁文 英文 中文
Te sæculorum Principem,
Te, Christe, Regem Gentium,
Te mentium, te cordium
Unum fatemur arbitrum.
O Lord of ages, thee we sing;
We hail thee as the nations’ King,
O Christ; our only Judge thou art,
Thou searcher of the mind and heart.
一、萬世之主我眾歌唱,歡呼基督萬國君王;
惟你是我審判之主,鑒察心思洞悉肺腑。
Scelesta turba clamitat:
Regnare Christum nolumus:
Te nos ovantes omnium
Regem supremum dicimus.
Though evil shouting mobs maintain:
We will not have this Christ to reign:
Not such is our triumphant cry,
Who hail thee King of kings most high.
二、惡眾雖然喧嚷張狂,不願基督作王掌權;
我眾卻以凱歌頌揚,尊主至高萬王之王。
O Christe, Princeps Pacifer,
Mentes rebelles subjice:
Tuoque amore devios,
Ovile in unum congrega.
O Christ, thou Prince of peace, subdue
All rebel thoughts; our minds renew;
And gather into thy one fold
The wanderers whom thy love doth hold.
三、基督你是和平之君,降服逆念使我更新;
蒙主慈愛迷途之羊,求你招聚同歸一群。
Ad hoc cruenta ab arbore
Pendes apertis brachiis,
Diraque fossum cuspide
Cor igne flagrans exhibes.
For this thou hangèdst on the Tree
With arms outstretched in fervent plea;
And showèdst forth thy burning heart
Transfixèd by the cruèl dart.
四、為此你曾懸於木上,伸開雙臂懇切祈禱;
顯露聖心愛火熾盛,竟被殘酷長矛刺透。
Ad hoc in aris abderis
Vini dapisque imagine,
Fundens salutem filiis
Transverberato pectore.
For this thy piercèd side doth shed,
Beneath the forms of wine and bread,
Thy grace upon thy sons; yet thou
Art hidden at the Altar now.
五、為此你從被刺肋旁,藉著聖餐餅酒之形;
向眾子民傾注救恩,隱藏己身於祭壇上。
Te nationum Præsides
Honore tollant publico,
Colant magistri, judices,
Leges et artes exprimant.
The rulers of the nations raise
To thee their meed of public praise;
Instructors, judges, thee confess;
Art, science, law, thy truth express.
六、列國元首當眾頌主,師儒判官同認基督;
文藝科學以及律法,皆當表明主的真道。
Submissa regum fulgeant
Tibi dicata insignia:
Mitique sceptro patriam
Domosque subde civium.
Let kings be fain to dedicate
To thee the emblems of the state;
And let our homes and fatherland
Be subject to thy kind command.
七、願諸君王甘心奉獻,王權徽號敬陳主前;
願我家室以及邦國,悉遵主命服主仁政。
Jesu, tibi sit gloria,
Qui sceptra mundi temperas,
Cum Patre, et almo Spiritu,
In sempiterna sæcula. Amen.
Jesu, to thee we glory pay,
Ruling earth’s kingdoms neath thy sway;
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete. Amen.
八、耶穌我眾頌主榮光,主掌王權統治萬邦;
聖父以及保惠聖靈,同受榮耀世世無盡。阿們。
℣. Data est mihi omnis potestas.
℟. In cælo et in terra.
℣. All power is given unto me.
℟. In heaven and in earth.
啟: 天上地下所有的權柄
應: 都賜給我了。
