Text: Supereminet omnem scientiam

David P. Babbitt (1947–2006)

Original Text	English Translation

Supereminet omnem scientiam o bone Jesu, tua magna caritas quam ostendisti nobis indignis pro sola bonitate et pietate tua, humanam et enim non angelicam suscipiens naturam et eam stola immortalitatis glorificans. Verxisti super omnes coelos, super onmes choros angelorum, super Cherubim, super Seraphim ad dexteram patris. Te laudant angeli, adorant dominationes et omnes virtutes coelorum tremunt super se et super hominem Deum. Pro hoc magno mysterio pietatis benedico et glorifico nomen sanctum tuum, Rex Christe, fili Mariae, fili Dei viventis, tibi sit honor et gloria in sempiterna saecula, amen.	Far above all the knowledge of all humanity, O gentle Jesus, the devotion is supreme which you have shown us, although we are unworthy; for in your loving kindness and your self-abasement, you have become human, not coming to earth among us as an angel, thus giving to us mortals the garb of your immortality. They bore you high above the heavens, over all the holy angel chorus, over cherubim, over seraphim to reign with the Creator. All angels honor you, on high they honor and adore you, and all mighty powers in heaven tremble at your name, you who are human and yet God. For this marvelous mystery I adore you, and I magnify your name unto glory everlasting. Lord Jesus, son of Mary and of God Almighty, glory to you and the Creator, forever and ever, amen.
