Jam Christe Sol Justitiae (6th century)
Title after 1631AD: “O Sol Salutis Intimis”
In addition to providing the Latin version with accent marks, the Saint Jean de Brébeuf Hymnal commissioned English translations from Latin scholars to help congregations appreciate these ancient prayers. Until the Brébeuf Hymnal appeared in 2018, literal translations for many of these hymns had never been made.

O Sol Salutis Intimis (“O Sov’reign Sun, diffuse thy Light”)
Translation: Historic Roman Catholic Translation • 1706AD
Alongside the Latin—with textual accents—is printed a Roman Catholic (rhyming) translation of great historical interest. The version printed in the Brébeuf Hymnal is quite rare, and we were not able to obtain permission to post excerpts online.
