Ambrosian hymn for Vespers and Matins on Christmas Day, 6th century
lyrics
Jesu, Redemptor omnium,
Quem lucis ante originem
Parem paternæ gloriæ
Pater supremus edidit.
Tu lumen, et splendor Patris,
Tu spes perennis omnium,
Intende quas fundunt preces
Tui per orbem servuli.
Memento, rerum Conditor,
Nostri quod olim corporis,
Sacrata ab alvo Virginis
Nascendo, formam sumpseris.
Testatur hoc præsens dies,
Currens per anni circulum,
Quod solus e sinu
Patris Mundi salus adveneris.
Hunc astra, tellus, æquora,
Hunc omne quod cœlo subest,
Salutis Auctorem novæ
Novo salutat cantico.
Et nos, beata quos sacri
Rigavit unda sanguinis;
Natalis ob diem tui
Hymni tributum solvimus.
Jesus, tibi sit gloria,
Qui natus es de Virgine,
Cum Patre, et almo Spiritu
In sempiterna sæcula.

Jesus, redeemer of mankind,
Who before the light of day
Equal to the Father's glory
Begotten by the Father above.
You, the light and brilliance of the Father
You, the everlasting hope of mankind
Uphold the prayers your servants
Scattered throughout the earth.
Be mindful of the event:
That our Creator,
Who once assumed a human form
Was created and born in holiness in the Virgin's womb.
Bear witness on this day and
Hastening through the cycle of the year:
He who alone, from the bosom of the Father of mankind
Brings salvation.
These heavenly bodies, these lands,
and the surface of the sea -
All things under the heavens salute their new Creator
With a new song.
And we - blessed by that sacrifice,
Soaked in waves of blood,
Absolved on account of your birth this day -
Sing songs of praise
Jesus, to you be glory
You who were born to a Virgin
Together with the Father, and the nurturing Spirit
From age to everlasting age.
(Translation by Donna Stewart)

Mikolaj is a real multi-talent in bass as well as guitar as well as vocals and "Darkside" Maciej's drumming is a well-calibrated 100th-of-seconds-clockwork. Not for nothing is Mgla considered as a standard for a lot of other blacker-than-black metal bands. I hope to see this band live once.....

It's hard to pick a favourite track. This is the only album i have so far deemed as "perfect", where every track, even the intro, is just a masterpiece in its own right. From the hard hitting Perturbator's Theme to the emotional title track, its 68 minutes of perfection. 10/10.
