Of the Father’s Love Begotten (Divinum Mysterium)

Twelfth century plain song (Mode V).  This hymn, with very ancient roots, is a confession of faith about the Christ, the eternal Son of God, whose birth and saving ministry were the fulfillment of ancient prophecies. The final stanzas are a doxology inspired by John's visions recorded in Revelation 4-7. The text is based on "Corde natus ex parentis," a Latin poem by Marcus Aurelius C. Prudentius.
