Fides Ultima
Sanctus Noctis
The Ultimate Faith
The earth lies in darkness
The cry of sinners ascends
The law of God is cast away
And the fear of the Lord is vanished
Lucifer rises upon the mountain
In his heart the throne of injustice
His powers are scattered over the nations
And the light in the world is darkened
But the faithful cry out in the wilderness
Jesus Christ, the last hope
The Savior of our souls
Deliver us from the power of darkness!
Truth lies in the streets
And mercy flees from men
The sacraments have been made ridiculous
And the Holy Name has been profaned
The elect groan under the weight of evil
Wicked spirits surround them
But their faith has not failed
Nor is the love of the Crucified extinguished
Jesus Christ, true light
Let your grace shine in darkness
In you our hope is founded
And nothing will separate us from you
May your kingdom come, Lord
And the head of the dragon be crushed
Preserve us in faith and charity
Until eternal light dawns
Amen
