Hello, I found two online sources with this. I don't understand why futurus is used instead of futurum.

"You who is going to be (our) reward" You can see why the translator changed the wording? It reads better in English.
futurus seems good enough. futurum sounds right if you read the English back to the Latin but the English is a translation of the Latin, not the other way round.

Latin textbooks sometimes list futurus as the 4th part of sum, esse, fui, [futurus].
Here's a verse from a chant called Audi Benigne Conditor. Would you agree that culpae is equivalent to possessive genitive connected to pabulum and that criminum is possessive genitive connected to corda?

Thank you, so then would culpae be considered genitive of material?
That is interesting, I had jejuna as a verb. I'll have to think about this some more.
Something like that, or maybe it should be called a genitive of definition (aka explanatory/appositional genitive).
Thank you, would you be able to offer a translation of this so that I can compare it to my own?
Here is my take:
lo the golden light rises
pale blindness cracks asunder
which long dragged us headlong
in foolish error

Thank you. What type of ablative would you say for errore devio?
I was thinking "locative ablative" but also considered ablative of manner. By the way I think that was a very nice translation cinefactus.
Ablative of manner is more like it.
Here I would like to see another translation if you would be so kind. And wondering what classification you would say for nostris sensibus. My best guess is ablative of separation, but I considered dative of purpose.

"And, remaining with (or in) our senses, let it drive away the night of the world and keep our hearts cleansed at every end of a day."
Nostris sensibus could be a dative of reference or a locatival ablative. I lean toward the former, but either is possible and it doesn't make much of a difference to the message. In any case, it isn't an ablative of separation; it conveys quite the opposite meaning. "Our senses" is also unlikely to be a purpose.

Thank you, that makes sense. Perhaps it's unimportant at this point, but with the ablative of separation, I had that connected to the following line. "may it repel the darkness of the age from our senses/minds"
By the way, to return to the previous passage, let me just correct a detail:
Fatiscat is subjunctive so it would be "let pale blindness crack asunder".
