Hymnus
Deus, tuórum mílitum
sors et coróna, prǽmium,
laudes canéntes mártyris
absólve nexu críminis.
Hic (Hæc) testis ore prótulit
quod cordis arca crédidit,
Christum sequéndo répperit
effusióne sánguinis.
Hic (Hæc) nempe mundi gáudia
et blandiménta nóxia
cadúca rite députans,
pervénit ad cæléstia.
Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter
et sústulit viríliter;
pro te refúndens sánguinem,
ætérna dona póssidet.
Ob hoc precátu súpplici
te póscimus, piíssime;
in hoc triúmpho mártyris
dimítte noxam sérvulis,
Ut consequámur múneris
ipsíus et consórtia,
lætémur ac perénniter
iuncti polórum sédibus.
Laus et perénnis glória
tibi, Pater, cum Fílio,
Sancto simul Paráclito
in sæculórum sǽcula. Amen.
Hymn
All hail the power of Jesus’ name;
  Let Angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem
  To crown him Lord of all.
Crown him, ye Martyrs of your God,
  Who from his altar call;
Praise him whose way of pain ye trod,
  And crown him Lord of all.
Hail him, ye heirs of David’s line,
  Whom David Lord did call;
The God Incarnate, Man Divine,
  And crown him Lord of all.
Let every tribe and every tongue
  To him their hearts enthral,
Lift high the universal song,
  And crown him Lord of all.

Ps 136:1-6
Super flumina Babylonis

Hanc corporalem populi captivitatem referre in exemplum spiritalis captivitatis oportet” (S. Hilarius).

Si oblítus fúero tui, Ierúsalem, oblivióni detur déxtera mea.
1Super flúmina Babylónis, illic sédimus et flévimus,*
  cum recordarémur Sion.
2In salícibus in médio eius*
  suspéndimus cítharas nostras.
3Quia illic rogavérunt nos, qui captívos duxérunt nos,*
  verba cantiónum
et, qui affligébant nos, lætítiam:*
  «Cantáte nobis de cánticis Sion».
4Quómodo cantábimus cánticum Dómini*
  in terra aliéna?
5Si oblítus fúero tui, Ierúsalem,*
  oblivióni detur déxtera mea;
6adhǽreat lingua mea fáucibus meis,*
  si non memínero tui,
si non præposúero Ierúsalem*
  in cápite lætítiæ meæ.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
  et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
  et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Si oblítus fúero tui, Ierúsalem, oblivióni detur déxtera mea.

Psalm 136 (137)
By the rivers of Babylon

If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand wither!
By the rivers of Babylon
  we sat and wept
  remembering Zion.
On the willow-trees of Babylon
  we hung up our harps.
In that place they asked us,
  those who had captured us,
  to sing them a song:
“Sing us,” they said,
  “a song of Zion.”
They had brought us affliction
  and asked us for joy.
How shall we sing the songs of the Lord
  in a foreign land?
Jerusalem, if I forget you,
  send my right hand to oblivion;
let my tongue stick in my throat
  if I do not remember –
if I do not rank Jerusalem
  the first of my joys.
Remember, Lord, the Edomites
  on the day of Jerusalem:
  “Raze it,” they said, “to the ground.”
Babylon’s daughter, destroyer –
  blessed be he that takes his revenge,
  that smashes your child on a rock.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
  and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
  is now, and ever shall be,
  world without end.
Amen.
If I forget you, Jerusalem, let my right hand wither!

Ps 137:1-8
Gratiarum actio

Reges terrae afferent gloriam suam et honorem in civitatem sanctam” (Cf. Ap 21, 24).

In conspéctu angelórum psallam tibi, Deus meus.
1Confitébor tibi, Dómine, in toto corde meo,*
  quóniam audísti verba oris mei.
In conspéctu angelórum psallam tibi,*

3In quacúmque die invocávero te, exáudi me;*
  multiplicábis in ánima mea virtútem.
4Confitebúntur tibi, Dómine, omnes reges terræ,*
  quia audiérunt elóquia oris tui.
5Et cantábunt vias Dómini,*
  quóniam magna est glória Dómini;
6quóniam excélsus Dóminus,†
  et húmilem réspicit,*
  et supérbum a longe cognóscit.
7Si ambulávero in médio tribulatiónis, vivificábis me;†
  et contra iram inimicórum meórum exténdes manum tuam,*
  et salvum me fáciet déxtera tua.
8Dóminus perfíciet pro me;†
  Dómine, misericórdia tua in sǽculum:*
  ópera mánuum tuárum ne despícias.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
  et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
  et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
In conspéctu angelórum psallam tibi, Deus meus.

Psalm 137 (138)
Thanksgiving

Before the angels I will bless you, my God.
I will praise you, Lord, with all my heart,
  for you have heard the words of my mouth.
In the presence of the angels I will make music to you,
  worship before your holy temple.
I will praise your name
  because of your mercy and faithfulness:
  high above all other names is the greatness of your word.
Each day that I call on you, Lord,
  listen to me, strengthen my spirit.
All the kings of the earth will proclaim your glory, Lord,
  when they hear your word.
They will sing of the paths of the Lord,
  so great is his glory.
For the Lord is on high
  but he cares for the humble;
  and he knows the proud from afar.
If I walk in the midst of troubles, you will give me life.
  If my enemies rise up against me,
  your right hand will keep me safe.
The Lord does all that I need.
  Lord, your kindness lasts for ever:
  do not forsake the work of your hands.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
  and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
  is now, and ever shall be,
  world without end.
Amen.
Before the angels I will bless you, my God.

CanticleApocalypse 4,5

The song of the redeemed

Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive glory and honour.
You are worthy, our Lord and our God,
  to receive glory and honour and power;
for you made all things,
  and it is by your will that they exist and were created.
You are worthy, Lord,
  to receive the book and open its seals,
for you were killed,
  and with your blood you have ransomed people
  from every tribe and language and people and nation,
and made them rulers and priests for God;
  and they will rule over the earth.
The Lamb is worthy, who was killed,
  to receive power and riches and wisdom,
  strength and honour, glory and blessing.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
  and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
  is now, and ever shall be,
  world without end.
Amen.
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive glory and honour.

Lectio brevis1 Petr 4:13-14
Sed, quemádmodum communicátis Christi passiónibus, gaudéte, ut et in revelatióne glóriæ eius gaudeátis exsultántes. Si exprobrámini in nómine Christi, beáti, quóniam Spíritus glóriæ et Dei super vos requiéscit.
Scripture Reading1 Peter 4:13-14
Beloved, if you can have some share in the sufferings of Christ, be glad, because you will enjoy a much greater gladness when his glory is revealed. It is a blessing for you when they insult you for bearing the name of Christ, because it means that you have the Spirit of glory, the Spirit of God resting on you.

Exsultatio animæ in Domino

In cæléstibus regnis sanctórum habitátio est et in ætérnum réquies eórum.
Magníficat*
  ánima mea Dóminum,
et exsultávit spíritus meus*
  in Deo salvatóre meo,
quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ.*
  Ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes,
quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est,*
  et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies et progénies*
  timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo,*
  dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede*
  et exaltávit húmiles;
esuriéntes implévit bonis*
  et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Israel púerum suum,*
  recordátus misericórdiæ,
sicut locútus est ad patres nostros,*
  Abraham et sémini eius in sǽcula.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
  et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
  et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.

My soul rejoices in the Lord

The saints will dwell in the kingdom of heaven; their peace will last for ever.
My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord,
  and my spirit rejoices in God, my salvation.
For he has shown me such favour –
  me, his lowly handmaiden.
Now all generations will call me blessed,
  because the mighty one has done great things for me.
His name is holy,
  his mercy lasts for generation after generation
  for those who revere him.
He has put forth his strength:
  he has scattered the proud and conceited,
  torn princes from their thrones;
  but lifted up the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with good things;
  the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel,
  he has remembered his mercy as he promised to our fathers,
  to Abraham and his children for ever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
  and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,
  is now, and ever shall be,
  world without end.
Amen.
The saints will dwell in the kingdom of heaven; their peace will last for ever.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis:
sanctificétur nomen tuum;
advéniat regnum tuum;
fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie;
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,
sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris;
et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem;
sed líbera nos a malo.
Our Father, who art in heaven,
  hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
  Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
  and forgive us our trespasses,
  as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not into temptation,
  but deliver us from evil.

Excita, quǽsumus, Dómine, in Ecclésia tua Spíritum, quo replétus beátus Iósaphat ánimam suam pro óvibus pósuit, ut, eo intercedénte, nos quoque eódem Spíritu roboráti, ánimam nostram pro frátribus pónere non vereámur.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum,
qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Lord, filled with your Holy Spirit
  Saint Josaphat laid down his life for his flock.
Renew that Spirit in your Church,
  strengthen our hearts with your grace,
  so that, with the help of his prayers,
  we may be ready to lay down our lives for our brethren.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son,
who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
God, for ever and ever.
Amen.

Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam.
  Amen.
The Lord bless us, and keep us from all evil, and bring us to everlasting life.
  Amen.
