O God, come to our aid.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son

Ætérna Christi múnera
et mártyrum victórias,
laudes feréntes débitas,
lætis canámus méntibus.
Ecclesiárum príncipes,
belli triumpháles duces,
cæléstis aulæ mílites
et vera mundi lúmina.
Terróre victo sǽculi
pœnísque spretis córporis,
mortis sacræ compéndio
lucem beátam póssident.
Tortóris insáni manu
sanguis sacrátus fúnditur,
sed pérmanent immóbiles
vitæ perénnis grátia.
Devóta sanctórum fides,
invícta spes credéntium,
perfécta Christi cáritas
mundi triúmphat príncipem.
In his patérna glória,
in his volúntas Spíritus,
exsúltat in his Fílius,
cælum replétur gáudio.
Te nunc, Redémptor, quǽsumus,
ut mártyrum consórtio
iungas precántes sérvulos
in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

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 35:2-13
| Psalm 35 (36)
|
Dominus, creator mundi, populum suum protegit
Misísti Spíritum tuum, Dómine, et creáta sunt, allelúia.
1Incípite Deo meo in týmpanis,*
cantáte Dómino meo in cýmbalis,
modulámini illi psalmum novum,*
exaltáte et invocáte nomen ipsíus.
2Tu es Deus cónterens bella,†
qui ponis castra in médio pópuli tui,*
ut erípias me de manu persequéntium me.
13Cantábo Deo meo hymnum novum:†
Dómine, magnus es tu et clarus,*
mirábilis in virtúte et insuperábilis.
14Tibi sérviat omnis creatúra tua,*
quóniam dixísti, et facta sunt,
misísti spíritum tuum, et ædificáta sunt,*
et non est, qui resístat voci tuæ.
15Montes enim a fundaméntis agitabúntur cum aquis,*
petræ autem a fácie tua tamquam cera liquéscent.
Illis autem qui timent te*
propítius adhuc eris.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Misísti Spíritum tuum, Dómine, et creáta sunt, allelúia.

The Lord, creator of the world, protects his peopleYou sent forth your Spirit, and they were created. Alleluia.
Make music to my God with drums,
sing to my Lord with cymbals.
Begin a new song to him,
extol and call upon his name.
You are the God who crushes battle-lines,
you set up your camp among your people,
you save me from the grip of my persecutors.
I will sing a new song to God:
Lord, you are great and glorious,
wonderful in your unconquerable power.
Let all your creatures serve you,
for you spoke and they were made,
you sent forth your spirit, and they were created:
there is no-one who can resist your command.
For the mountains will be shaken to their roots,
the seas will be stirred up,
at your sight the rocks will melt like wax –
but to those who fear you,
you will show your loving kindness.
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.
You sent forth your Spirit, and they were created. Alleluia.

Ps 46:2-10
| Psalm 46 (47)
|
Hæc est cáritas Dei, ut mandáta eius servémus; et mandáta eius grávia non sunt, quóniam omne, quod natum est ex Deo, vincit mundum; et hæc est victória, quæ vicit mundum: fides nostra. Quis est qui vincit mundum, nisi qui credit quóniam Iesus est Fílius Dei?
|
This is what loving God is – keeping his commandments;
and his commandments are not difficult,
because anyone who has been begotten by God
has already overcome the world.
This is the victory over the world – our faith.
Who can overcome the world?
Only the one who believes that Jesus is the Son of God.

|
Everlasting joy shall be in their faces. Alleluia, alleluia.
– Everlasting joy shall be in their faces. Alleluia, alleluia.
Joy and gladness will go with them.
– Everlasting joy shall be in their faces. Alleluia, alleluia.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
– Everlasting joy shall be in their faces. Alleluia, alleluia.

De Messia eiusque præcursoreGaudéte et exsultáte, omnes sancti, quóniam merces vestra copiósa est in cælis, allelúia.
Benedíctus Dóminus Deus Israel,*
quia visitávit et fecit redemptiónem plebi suæ
et eréxit cornu salútis nobis*
in domo David púeri sui,
sicut locútus est per os sanctórum,*
qui a sæculo sunt, prophetárum eius,
salútem ex inimícis nostris*
et de manu ómnium, qui odérunt nos;
ad faciéndam misericórdiam cum pátribus nostris*
et memorári testaménti sui sancti,
iusiurándum, quod iurávit ad Abraham patrem nostrum,*
datúrum se nobis,
ut sine timóre, de manu inimicórum liberáti,*
serviámus illi
in sanctitáte et iustítia coram ipso*
ómnibus diébus nostris.
Et tu, puer, prophéta Altíssimi vocáberis:*
præíbis enim ante fáciem Dómini paráre vias eius,
ad dandam sciéntiam salútis plebi eius*
in remissiónem peccatórum eórum,
per víscera misericórdiæ Dei nostri,*
in quibus visitábit nos óriens ex alto,
illumináre his, qui in ténebris et in umbra mortis sedent*
ad dirigéndos pedes nostros in viam pacis.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*
et in sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Gaudéte et exsultáte, omnes sancti, quóniam merces vestra copiósa est in cælis, allelúia.

The Messiah and his forerunnerRejoice, all you saints, and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, alleluia.
Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
for he has come to his people and brought about their redemption.
He has raised up the sign of salvation
in the house of his servant David,
as he promised through the mouth of the holy ones,
his prophets through the ages:
to rescue us from our enemies
and all who hate us,
to take pity on our fathers,
to remember his holy covenant
and the oath he swore to Abraham our father,
that he would give himself to us,
that we could serve him without fear
– freed from the hands of our enemies –
in uprightness and holiness before him,
for all of our days.
And you, child, will be called the prophet of the Most High:
for you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare his path,
to let his people know their salvation,
so that their sins may be forgiven.
Through the bottomless mercy of our God,
one born on high will visit us
to give light to those who walk in darkness,
who live in the shadow of death;
to lead our feet in the path of peace.
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.
Rejoice, all you saints, and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, alleluia.
