Auctor Salutis Unice is sung at Vespers (Evening Prayer) on Holy Saturday in the Roman Breviary.
AUCTOR SALUTIS UNICE
1. Auctor salutis unice,
mundi redemptor inclite,
rex, Christe, nobis annue
crucis fecundæ gloriam.
2. Tu morte mortem diruens
vitamque vita largiens,
mortis ministrum subdolum
deviceras diabolum.
3. Piis amoris artibus
somno sepulcri traditus,
sedes recludis infer
patresque dicis liberos.
4. Nunc in Parentis dextera
sacrata fulgens víctima,
audi, precamur, vivido
tuo redemptos sanguine,
5. Quo te diebus omnibus
puris sequentes moribus,
adversus omnes impetus
crucis feramus labarum.
6. Patri, tibi, Paraclito
sit æqua, Iesu, gloria,
qui nos crucis victoria
concedis usque perfrui.
