Psalm 136 [4]

136:1 Upon the rivers of Babylon, there we sat and wept: * when we remembered Sion:

136:3 For there they that led us into captivity required of us * the words of songs.

136:3 And they that carried us away, said: * Sing ye to us a hymn of the songs of Sion.

136:4 How shall we sing the song of the Lord * in a strange land?

136:5 If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, * let my right hand be forgotten.

136:6 Let my tongue cleave to my jaws, * if I do not remember thee:

136:6 If I make not Jerusalem * the beginning of my joy.

136:7 Who say: Rase it, rase it, * even to the foundation thereof.

Chapter Hymn Verse

from the Common or Feast

Jas 1:12

Blessed is the man that endureth temptation; for when he hath been proved, he shall receive a crown of life, which God hath promised to them that love him.

Beátus vir, qui suffert tentatiónem: quóniam cum probátus fúerit, accípiet corónam vitæ, quam repromísit Deus diligéntibus se.

Hymn

O God, of those that fought thy fight,

Portion, and prize, and crown of light,

Break every bond of sin and shame

As now we praise thy martyr's name.

Deus tuórum mílitum

Sors, et córona, prǽmium,

Laudes canéntes Mártyris

Absólve nexu críminis.

He recked not of the world's allure,

But sin and pomp of sin forswore:

Knew all their gall, and passed them by,

And reached the throne prepared on high.

Hic nempe mundi gáudia,

Et blanda fraudum pábula

Imbúta felle députans,

Pervénit ad cæléstia.

Bravely the course of pain he ran,

And bare his torments as a man:

For love of thee his blood outpoured,

And thus obtained the great reward.

Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter,

Et sústulit viríliter,

Fundénsque pro te sánguinem,

Ætérna dona póssidet.

With humble voice and suppliant word

We pray thee therefore, holy Lord,

While we thy martyr's feast-day keep,

Forgive thy loved and erring sheep.

Ob hoc precátu súpplici

Te póscimus, piíssime;

In hoc triúmpho Mártyris

Dimítte noxam sérvulis.

Glory and praise for aye be done

To God the Father, and the Son,

And Holy Ghost, who reign on high,

One God, to all eternity.

Amen.

Laus et perénnis glória

Patri sit, atque Fílio,

Sancto simul Paráclito,

In sempitérna sǽcula.

Amen.

The righteous shall flourish like the palm-tree.

Iustus ut palma florébit.

He shall grow like a cedar in Lebanon.

Sicut cedrus Líbani multiplicábitur.

Canticle of the Blessed Virgin

Luke 1:46-55

1:46 My soul ✠ * doth magnify the Lord.

1:47 And my spirit hath rejoiced * in God my Saviour.

1:48 Because he hath regarded the humility of his handmaid; * for behold from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed.

1:49 Because he that is mighty, hath done great things to me; * and holy is his name.

1:50 And his mercy is from generation unto generations, * to them that fear him.

1:51 He hath shewed might in his arm: * he hath scattered the proud in the conceit of their heart.

1:52 He hath put down the mighty from their seat, * and hath exalted the humble.

1:53 He hath filled the hungry with good things; * and the rich he hath sent empty away.

1:54 He hath received Israel his servant, * being mindful of his mercy:

1:55 As he spoke to our fathers, * to Abraham and to his seed for ever.

1:46 Magníficat ✠ * ánima mea Dóminum.

1:47 Et exsultávit spíritus meus: * in Deo, salutári meo.

1:48 Quia respéxit humilitátem ancíllæ suæ: * ecce enim ex hoc beátam me dicent omnes generatiónes.

1:49 Quia fecit mihi magna qui potens est: * et sanctum nomen eius.

1:50 Et misericórdia eius, a progénie in progénies: * timéntibus eum.

1:51 Fecit poténtiam in brácchio suo: * dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui.

1:52 Depósuit poténtes de sede: * et exaltávit húmiles.

1:53 Esuriéntes implévit bonis: * et dívites dimísit inánes.

1:54 Suscépit Israël púerum suum: * recordátus misericórdiæ suæ.

1:55 Sicut locútus est ad patres nostros: * Ábraham, et sémini eius in sǽcula.
