The Latin version of 'Shine, Jesus, shine'

(It's surprisingly difficult to find this on the internet, despite the fact that it has been around for a number of years. So I thought I'd post it up here, as my good deed for the day.)

Domine, lux amoris tuae fulget,
fulgens in medias tenebras;
Jesu, Lux Mundi, nobis adfulge,
libera nos per veritatem quam nunc nobis adfers.
Adfulge mihi, adfulge.


Fulge, Jesu, fulge. Terram hanc Patris gloria imple.
Arde, Spiritus, arde. Corda nostra accende.
Flue, Flumen, flue gratia et misericordia gentes inunda.

Domine, emitte verbum tuum et fiat lux.


Domine, veni ex tenebris in conspectum
numinosum tuumet in lucem tuam.
Per sanguinem licet mihi ut splendorem tuum intrem.
Me perscrutare, me tempta, tenebras meas totas consume.
Adfulge mihi, adfulge.


Fulge, Jesu, fulge. &c..

Sicut splendorem regalem tuum contemplamur,
sic vultus nostri exhibeant imaginem tuam,
gloriam gloria mutantes,
vitae nostrae acta tua, hic reddita, narrent.
Adfulge mihi, adfulge.


Fulge, Jesu, fulge. &c..
