Start

silently

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. Amen.

Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum quotidiánum 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. Amen.

Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee; blessed art thou amongst women, and blessed is the fruit of thy womb, Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us sinners, now and at the hour of our death. Amen.

Ave María, grátia plena; Dóminus tecum: benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus fructus ventris tui Jesus. Sancta María, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatóribus, nunc et in hora mortis nostræ. Amen.

Thereafter, with hearable voice, the Versicle is said:

O God, ✠ come to my assistance;

Deus ✠ in adjutórium meum inténde.

O Lord, make haste to help me.

Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.

As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.

Alleluia.

Allelúja.

Hymn

O strength and stay upholding all creation,

Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,

Yet day by day the light in due gradation

From hour to hour through all its changes guide:

Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor,

Immótus in te pérmanens,

Lucis diúrnæ témpora

Succéssibus detérminans:

Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending,

An eve untouched by shadows of decay,

The brightness of a holy death-bed blending

With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.

Largíre clarum véspere,

Quo vita nusquam décidat,

Sed prǽmium mortis sacræ

Perénnis instet glória.

Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,

And thou, O Christ, the co-eternal Word,

Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living

Now and to endless ages art adored.

Amen.

Præsta, Pater piíssime,

Patríque compar Únice,

Cum Spíritu Paráclito

Regnans per omne sǽculum.

Amen.

125:1 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, * we became like men comforted.

125:3 The Lord hath done great things for us: * we are become joyful.

125:4 Turn again our captivity, O Lord, * as a stream in the south.

125:5 They that sow in tears * shall reap in joy.

125:6 Going they went and wept, * casting their seeds.

125:6 But coming they shall come with joyfulness, * carrying their sheaves.

125:1 In converténdo Dóminus captivitátem Sion: * facti sumus sicut consoláti:

125:2 Tunc replétum est gáudio os nostrum: * et lingua nostra exsultatióne.

125:2 Tunc dicent inter gentes: * Magnificávit Dóminus fácere cum eis.

125:3 Magnificávit Dóminus fácere nobíscum: * facti sumus lætántes.

125:4 Convérte, Dómine, captivitátem nostram, * sicut torrens in Austro.

125:5 Qui séminant in lácrimis, * in exsultatióne metent.

125:6 Eúntes ibant et flebant, * mitténtes sémina sua.

125:6 Veniéntes autem vénient cum exsultatióne, * portántes manípulos suos.

126:2 When he shall give sleep to his beloved, * behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.

126:4 As arrows in the hand of the mighty, * so the children of them that have been shaken.

126:5 Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; * he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.

126:1 Nisi Dóminus ædificáverit domum, * in vanum laboravérunt qui ædíficant eam.

126:1 Nisi Dóminus custodíerit civitátem, * frustra vígilat qui custódit eam.

126:2 Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere: * súrgite postquam sedéritis, qui manducátis panem dolóris.

126:2 Cum déderit diléctis suis somnum: * ecce heréditas Dómini fílii: merces, fructus ventris.

126:4 Sicut sagíttæ in manu poténtis: * ita fílii excussórum.

126:5 Beátus vir, qui implévit desidérium suum ex ipsis: * non confundétur cum loquétur inimícis suis in porta.
