Deus, in adiutórium meum inténde.
Dómine, ad adiuvándum me festína.
Glória Patri et Fílio*
et Spirítui Sancto.
Sicut erat in princípio et nunc et semper*

O God, come to our aid.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning,

world without end.

Vox clara ecce íntonat,
obscúra quæque íncrepat:
procul fugéntur sómnia;
ab æthre Christus prómicat.
Mens iam resúrgat tórpida
quæ sorde exstat sáucia
sidus refúlget iam novum,
ut tollat omne nóxium.
E sursum Agnus míttitur
laxáre gratis débitum;
omnes pro indulgéntia
vocem demus cum lácrimis,
Secúndo ut cum fúlserit
mundúmque horror cínxerit,
non pro reátu púniat,
sed nos pius tunc prótegat.
Summo Parénti glória
Natóque sit victória,
et Flámini laus débita
per sæculórum sǽcula. Amen.

Hark! a herald voice is calling
Through the shadows of the night
‘Cast away the dreams of darkness
Christ descends with heavenly light.’
Wakened by the solemn warning,
Let the earthbound soul arise;
Christ, her sun, all sloth dispelling,
Shines upon the morning skies.
Lo, the Lamb, so long expected,
Comes with pardon down from heav’n;
Let us haste, with tears of sorrow,
One and all to be forgiv’n;
So, when next he comes with glory,
And his judgement-day draws near,
Faithful he may find his servants,
Watching till their Lord appear.
Honour, glory, might, and blessing
To the Father and the Son,
With the everlasting Spirit,
While eternal ages run.

Ps 35:2-13
| Psalm 35 (36)
|
Dominus, creator mundi, populum suum protegit
Dómine, magnus es tu, et præclárus in virtúte tua.
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.
Dómine, magnus es tu, et præclárus in virtúte tua.

The Lord, creator of the world, protects his peopleLord, you are great, you are glorious, you are wonderfully strong.
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.
Lord, you are great, you are glorious, you are wonderfully strong.

De Messia eiusque præcursoreVéniet fórtior me post me, cuius non sum dignus sólvere corrígiam calceamentórum.
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.
Véniet fórtior me post me, cuius non sum dignus sólvere corrígiam calceamentórum.

The Messiah and his forerunnerThere is one coming who is more powerful than I am. I am not fit to undo the strap of his sandals.
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.
There is one coming who is more powerful than I am. I am not fit to undo the strap of his sandals.

Verbum Dei in nobis habitáre decrévit, ut viderémus glóriam suam. Qua spe gaudéntes, acclamémus:
– O Emmánuel, esto nobíscum.
Princeps iuste et recte,
ius redde paupéribus et oppréssis.
– O Emmánuel, esto nobíscum.
Rex pacífice, gládios in vómeres conflans et lánceas in falces,
muta invídias in dilectiónem et iniúrias nostras in remissiónes.
– O Emmánuel, esto nobíscum.
Tu, qui non secúndum visiónem oculórum iúdicas,
discérne eos qui tui sunt.
– O Emmánuel, esto nobíscum.
Quando in nube véneris cum potestáte magna,
fac ut sine confusióne appareámus ante fáciem tuam.
– O Emmánuel, esto nobíscum.

The Word of God has chosen to live among us: let us thank him and give him praise:
– Come, Lord Jesus!
Bring justice to those bowed down with suffering:
defend the poor and the powerless.
– Come, Lord Jesus!
Prince of Peace, turn our jealousies into love,
teach us to forgive rather than give way to anger.
– Come, Lord Jesus!
When you come to judge the world,
may we stand before you without fear.
– Come, Lord Jesus!
You stand in our midst unknown:
help us to find you in the poor and the troubled.
– Come, Lord Jesus!

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.

Prǽpara, quǽsumus, Dómine Deus noster, corda nostra divína tua virtúte, ut, veniénte Christo Fílio tuo, digni inveniámur ætérnæ vitæ convívio et cibum cæléstem, ipso ministránte, percípere mereámur.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum,
qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus,
per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
| Prepare our hearts, Lord,
by the power of your grace.
When Christ comes,
may he find us worthy
to receive from his hand the bread of heaven
at the feast of eternal life.
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.
