Ave, rex noster!
Ave, rex noster!
AVE, REX NOSTER!
from Saint Aethelwold's Benedictional |
Hail, our king! Hail, our king! Hail, our King,
Son of David, Redeemer of the world, whom the prophets have proclaimed to be the Saviour of the House of Israel that is to come.
For thee the Father sent into the world to be the saving victim, whom all the saints expected from the beginning of the world, and now expect.
Hosanna to the Son of David. Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.
