Corde Natus ex Parentis (Of the Father's Love Begotten) is a Christmas carol based on the poem Corde Natus by Aurelius Prudentius.

​

Corde natus ex parentis

Ante mundi exordium

A et O cognominatus,

ipse fons et clausula

Ominum quae sunt, fuerunt,

Quaequae post futura sunt.

Saeculorum saeculis.

​

Of the Father's heart begotten,

Ere the world from chaos rose,

He is Alpha, from that Fountain

All that is and hath been flows;

He is Omega, of all things,

Yet to come the mystic Close,

Evermore and evermore.
