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:

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:
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.

Psalm 118(81-88) [1]
118:81 (Caph) My soul hath fainted after thy salvation: * and in thy word I have very much hoped.
118:82 My eyes have failed for thy word, * saying: When wilt thou comfort me?
118:83 For I am become like a bottle in the frost: * I have not forgotten thy justifications.
118:84 How many are the days of thy servant: * when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?
118:85 The wicked have told me fables: * but not as thy law.
118:86 All thy statutes are truth: * they have persecuted me unjustly, do thou help me.
118:87 They had almost made an end of me upon earth: * but I have not forsaken thy commandments.
118:88 Quicken thou me according to thy mercy: * and I shall keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
118:81 (Caph) Defécit in salutáre tuum ánima mea: * et in verbum tuum supersperávi.
118:82 Defecérunt óculi mei in elóquium tuum, * dicéntes: Quando consoláberis me?
118:83 Quia factus sum sicut uter in pruína: * iustificatiónes tuas non sum oblítus.
118:84 Quot sunt dies servi tui? * quando fácies de persequéntibus me iudícium?
118:85 Narravérunt mihi iníqui fabulatiónes: * sed non ut lex tua.
118:86 Ómnia mandáta tua véritas: * iníque persecúti sunt me, ádiuva me.
118:87 Paulo minus consummavérunt me in terra: * ego autem non derelíqui mandáta tua.
118:88 Secúndum misericórdiam tuam vivífica me: * et custódiam testimónia oris tui.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Psalm 118(89-96) [2]
118:89 (Lamed) For ever, O Lord, * thy word standeth firm in heaven.
118:90 Thy truth unto all generations: * thou hast founded the earth, and it continueth.
118:91 By thy ordinance the day goeth on: * for all things serve thee.
118:92 Unless thy law had been my meditation, * I had then perhaps perished in my abjection.
118:93 Thy justifications I will never forget: * for by them thou hast given me life.
118:94 I am thine, save thou me: * for I have sought thy justifications.
118:95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: * but I have understood thy testimonies.
118:96 I have seen an end of all perfection: * thy commandment is exceeding broad.
118:89 (Lamed) In ætérnum, Dómine, * verbum tuum pérmanet in cælo.
118:90 In generatiónem et generatiónem véritas tua: * fundásti terram, et pérmanet.
118:91 Ordinatióne tua persevérat dies: * quóniam ómnia sérviunt tibi.
118:92 Nisi quod lex tua meditátio mea est: * tunc forte periíssem in humilitáte mea.
118:93 In ætérnum non oblivíscar iustificatiónes tuas: * quia in ipsis vivificásti me.
118:94 Tuus sum ego, salvum me fac: * quóniam iustificatiónes tuas exquisívi.
118:95 Me exspectavérunt peccatóres ut pérderent me: * testimónia tua intelléxi.
118:96 Omnis consummatiónis vidi finem: * latum mandátum tuum nimis.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

118:102 A iudíciis tuis non declinávi: * quia tu legem posuísti mihi.
118:103 Quam dúlcia fáucibus meis elóquia tua, * super mel ori meo!
118:104 A mandátis tuis intelléxi: * proptérea odívi omnem viam iniquitátis.
