Victis sibi cognomina.

CONQUERING kings their tithes take
From the lands they captive make:
Jesu, thine was given thee
For a world thou madest free.

2 Not another name is given
Power possessing under heaven,
Strong to call dead souls to rise
And exalt them to the skies.

3 That which Christ so hardly wrought,
That which he so dearly bought,
That salvation. mortals, say,
Will ye madly cast away?

4 Rather gladly for that name
Bear the Cross, endure the shame;
Joyfully for him to die
Is not death but victory.

5 Jesu, if thou condescend
To be called the sinner's Friend,
Ours the joy and glory be
Thus to make our boast of thee.

6. Glory to the Father be,
Glory, Virgin-born, to thee,
Glory to the Holy Ghost.
Ever from the heavenly heat. Amen.
