In the Roman Breviary, Tibi, Redemptor Omnium is traditionally sung at Lauds (Morning Prayer) on Holy Saturday. An audio recording can be found here.
TIBI, REDEMPTOR OMNIUM
1. Tibi, Redémptor ómnium,
hymnum defléntes cánimus;
ignósce nobis, Dómine,
ignósce confiténtibus.
2. Qui vires hostis véteris
per crucem mortis cónteris,
qua nos vexíllum fídei,
fronte signáti, férimus,
3. Illum a nobis iúgiter
repéllere dignáveris,
ne possit umquam lǽdere
redémptos tuo sánguine.
4. Qui propter nos ad ínferos
descéndere dignátus es,
ut mortis debitóribus
vitæ donáres múnera,
5. Tu es qui certo témpore
datúrus finem sǽculo,
iustus cunctórum mérita
remunerátor státues.
6. Te ergo, Christe, quǽsumus,
ut nostra cures vúlnera,
qui es cum Patre et Spíritu
laudándus in perpétuum. Amen.
