lyrics

Amoris vinculo nos dei filius attraxit dulciter

Eterno seculo de patre genitus
Amoris vinculo nos dei filius
De matris utero homo divinitus natus humiliter
Amoris vinculo nos dei filius attraxit dulciter

Communi stabulo presepe positus
Amoris vinculo nos dei filius
Cum lactis pabulo matris uberibus pastus communiter
Amoris vinculo nos dei filius attraxit dulciter

Vivens in patulo virtutum moribus
Amoris vinculo nos dei filius
Doctrine poculo verbis operibus docendo jugeter
Amoris vinculo nos dei filius attraxit dulciter

Crucis patibulo pro nobis deditus
Amoris vinculo nos dei filius
Mortis periculo peccati nexibus sanando partier
Amoris vinculo nos dei filius attraxit dulciter

Celorum solio paras fidelibus
Amoris vinculo nos dei filius
Superno premio sanctorum cetibus jungar feliciter
Amoris vinculo nos dei filius attraxit dulciter


Chain of Love

With the chain of love the Son of God has sweetly pulled us to him

Eternal life, born of the father
With the chain of love the Son of God
God made man, humbly born of his mother’s womb
With the chain of love the Son of God has sweetly pulled us to him

Laid in a manger in a common stable
With the chain of love the Son of God
Nourished like any baby with the milk of his mother’s breasts
With the chain of love the Son of God has sweetly pulled us to him

Living a virtuous life as example to all
With the chain of love the Son of God
A vessel of the principle of always teaching by word and deed
With the chain of love the Son of God has sweetly pulled us to him

For us he surrendered to the gibbet of the cross
With the chain of love the Son of God
So that we would be saved from both the menace of death and the bonds of sin
With the chain of love the Son of God has sweetly pulled us to him

On your heavenly throne you prepare for the faithful
With the chain of love the Son of God
The celestial prize. May I be joyfully united with the sacred assembly
With the chain of love the Son of God has sweetly pulled us to him
