Te Deum Patrem colimus
Te Laudibus prosequimus
qui corpus cibo reficis
coelesti mentem gratia
Te adoramus, O Jesu
Te, Fili unigenite
Te, qui non dedignatus es
subire clautra Virginis
Actus in crucem, factus est
irato Deo victima
per te, Salvator unice
vitae spes nobis rediit
Tibi, aeterne Spiritus
cuius afflatu peperit
infantem Deum Maria
aeternum benedicimus
Triune Deus, hominum
salutis auctor optime
immensum hoc mysterium
orante lingua canimus
(The Hymnus Eucharisticus)
Some way within the limits of the stretch of the landscape, points of life like the topaz gleamed. The air increased in transparency with the lapse of minutes, till the topaz points showed themselves to be the vanes, windows, wet roof slates, and other shining spots upon the spires, domes, freestone-work, and varied outlines that were faintly revealed. It was Christminster, unquestionably; either directly seen, or miraged in the peculiar atmosphere.
[Jude, Thomas Hardy]
