Martin, Benedict, Nicholas hymns: foster prelates, clothe with justice, grant perennial kingdoms and life’s aid

Martin’s hymn asks him to foster the feast, clarify prelates, and clothe us as he once shared his cloak.

Benedict: help climb the narrow way to perennial kingdoms; Nicholas: strip death’s losses and grant life’s aid unto glory.

Latin

LV. Ad Sanctum quoque Martinum cani solet hic hymnus, Martine par Apostolis, Festum colentes tu fove, Qui vivere Discipulos Vis aut mori, nostros respice. Fac ut quod olim gesseras, Nunc praesules clarifica, Auge decus Ecclesiae, Fraudes elude Satanae. Qui ter Chaos eviceras, Mersos reatu suscita: Diviseras ut Chlamydem, Nos indue justitia. Denique Sancto Benedicto dicitur in hymno de ejus translatione, Angustum per iter scandere largiens, Dona regna perennia. Et in hymno de Sancto Nicolao qui incipit, Exultet aula caelica, haec dirigitur ad ipsum precatio, O Venerande Pontifex, Pius nec tardus opifex, Cunctis qui corde credulo, Te quaerunt in periculo, Aufer mortis dispendia, Confer vitae subsidia; Ut post carnis exilia, Tecum simus in gloria.
