Latin Lyrics:
Recessit Pastor Noster,
Fons aquae vivae,
Ad cuius transitum,
Sol obscuratus est.
Nam et ille captus est,
Qui captivum tenebat primum hominem.
Hodie portas mortis et seras pariter,
Salvator Noster disrupit.
Destruxit quidem claustra inferni,
Et subvertit potentias Diaboli.
Nam et ille captus est,
Qui captivum tenebat primum hominem.
Hodie portas mortis et seras pariter,
Salvator Noster disrupit.
| Translation:
Our Shepherd has departed,
The fount of living water,
And at His passing,
The sun has darkened.
But now that one was made a prisoner,
He who held prisoner the first man.
Today the gates of death along with its locks,
Were broken asunder by Our Savior.
He has indeed destroyed the barriers of Hell,
And has overthrown the powers of the Devil.
But now that one was made a prisoner,
He who held prisoner the first man.
Today the gates of death along with its locks,
Were broken asunder by Our Savior.
