As the bird, whose clarion gay Sounds before the dawn is grey, Christ, who brings the spirit’s day, Calls us, close at hand:
  «Auférte clamat léctulos ægros, sopóros, désides; castíque, recti ac sóbrii vigiláte; iam sum próximus».
“Wake!” He cries, “and for my sake, From your eyes dull slumbers shake! Sober, righteous, chaste, awake! At the door I stand!”
  Ut, cum corúscis flátibus auróra cælum spárserit, omnes labóre exércitos confírmet ad spem lúminis,

Lord, to Thee we lift on high Fervent prayer and bitter cry: Hearts aroused to pray and sigh May not slumber more:
  Tu, Christe, somnum dísice, tu rumpe noctis víncula, tu solve peccátum vetus novúmque lumen íngere.
Break the sleep of Death and Time, Forged by Adam’s ancient crime; And the light of Eden’s prime To the world restore!

  Deus, áuribus nostris audívimus; patres nostri annuntiavérunt nobis * opus, quod operátus es in diébus eórum, in diébus antíquis.
  O God, we have heard with our ears; our fathers have told us of the work that Thou hast done in their days, and in the days of old.
  Tu manu tua gentes depulísti et plantásti illos, * afflixísti pópulos et dilatásti eos.
  Thy hand has destroyed the nations, and thou hast set them in their place; Thou hast afflicted the peoples, and Thou hast driven them out.
  Nec enim in gládio suo possedérunt terram, * et bráchium eórum non salvávit eos;
  For it was not with their sword that they conquered this land, nor did their arm save them,
  sed déxtera tua et bráchium tuum et illuminátio vultus tui, * quóniam complacuísti in eis.
  but it is Thy right hand and Thy arm, and the light of Thy face, forasmuch as Thou lovedst them.
  Tu es rex meus et Deus meus, * qui mandas salútes Iacob.
  Thou art my king and my God, thou who command the salvation of Jacob.
  In te inimícos nostros proiécimus * et in nómine tuo conculcávimus insurgéntes in nos.
  Through Thou we will overthrow our enemies, and in Thy Name we will despise those who rise up against us.
  Non enim in arcu meo sperábo, * et gládius meus non salvábit me.
  For it is not in my bow that I will trust, * nor will my sword save me.
  Tu autem salvásti nos de affligéntibus nos * et odiéntes nos confudísti.
  But it is Thou who have saved us from those who afflicted us, and who have confounded those who hated us.

  Nunc autem reppulísti et confudísti nos * et non egrediéris, Deus, cum virtútibus nostris.
  But now Thou've turned us away and put us to shame, and Thou don't go out with our armies anymore, God.
  Convertísti nos retrórsum coram inimícis nostris, * et, qui odérunt nos, diripuérunt sibi.
  Thou madest us turn our backs on our enemies, and those who hated us plundered us.
  Dedísti nos tamquam oves ad vescéndum * et in géntibus dispersísti nos.
  Thou hast given us up as sheep for slaughter, and thou hast scattered us amongst the nations.
  Vendidísti pópulum tuum sine lucro, * nec dítior factus es in commutatióne eórum.
  Thou sold thy people at a low price, and there was no crowd in the purchase that was made of them.
  Posuísti nos oppróbrium vicínis nostris, * subsannatiónem et derísum his, qui sunt in circúitu nostro.
  Thou hast repaid us the reproach of our neighbors, and an object of insult and mockery to those around us.
  Posuísti nos similitúdinem in géntibus, * commotiónem cápitis in pópulis.
  Thou hast given us back the fable of the nations; the people shake their heads about us.

  All these evils have come upon us; and yet we have not forgotten Thou, nor have we acted unjustly against Thy covenant.

  And our hearts have not withdrawn backwards; and Thou hast turned our steps away from Thy way.
  sed humiliásti nos in loco vúlpium * et operuísti nos umbra mortis.
  For Thou hast humbled us in a place of affliction, and the shadow of death has covered us.
  Si oblíti fuérimus nomen Dei nostri * et si expandérimus manus nostras ad deum aliénum,

  Won't God ask for an account of it anon? For He knoweth the secrets of the heart.

  In primo nocturno, anno I
  De Epístula prima beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Corínthios
  Non sum liber? Non sum apóstolus? Nonne Iesum Dóminum nostrum vidi? Non opus meum vos estis in Dómino? Si áliis non sum apóstolus, sed tamen vobis sum; nam signáculum apostolátus mei vos estis in Dómino. Mea defénsio apud eos, qui me intérrogant, hæc est. Numquid non habémus potestátem manducándi et bibéndi? Numquid non habémus potestátem sorórem mulíerem circumducéndi sicut et céteri apóstoli et fratres Dómini et Cephas? Aut solus ego et Bárnabas non habémus potestátem non operándi?
  
  Quis mílitat suis stipéndiis umquam? Quis plantat víneam et fructum eius non edit? Aut quis pascit gregem et de lacte gregis non mandúcat? Numquid secúndum hóminem hæc dico? An et lex hæc non dicit? Scriptum est enim in Lege Móysis: Non alligábis os bovi trituránti. Numquid de bobus cura est Deo? An propter nos útique dicit? Nam propter nos scripta sunt, quóniam debet in spe, qui arat, aráre et, qui tritúrat, in spe fructus percipiéndi. Si nos vobis spiritália seminávimus, magnum est, si nos carnália vestra metámus? Si álii potestátis vestræ partícipes sunt, non pótius nos? Sed non usi sumus hac potestáte, sed ómnia sustinémus, ne quod offendículum demus evangélio Christi. Nescítis quóniam, qui sacra operántur, quæ de sacrário sunt edunt; qui altári desérviunt, cum altári participántur? Ita et Dóminus ordinávit his, qui evangélium annúntiant, de evangélio vívere.
  
  Ego autem nullo horum usus sum. Non scripsi autem hæc, ut ita fiant in me; bonum est enim mihi magis mori quam ut glóriam meam quis evácuet.
  
  Si evangelizávero, non est mihi glória; necéssitas enim mihi incúmbit. Væ enim mihi est, si non evangelizávero! Si enim volens hoc ago, mercédem hábeo; si autem invítus, dispensátio mihi crédita est. Quæ est ergo merces mea? Ut evangélium prædicans sine sumptu ponam evangélium, ut non abútar potestáte mea in evangélio.
  
  r. Dómine Deus, propítius esto pópulo tuo, * Et convérte tribulatiónem nostram in gáudium. v. Adiuva nos, Deus salutáris noster; propter glóriam nóminis tui, Dómine, líbera nos. * Et convérte. v. Glória Patri. * Et convérte.
  
  In secundo nocturno, anno I
  Ex Homilíis sancto Macário abbáti attribútis (Hom. 25, 8-10: PG 34, 671-674)
  Lacrima illa, quæ revéra ex summa contritióne et angústia cordis effúnditur, in agnitióne veritátis, et cum ardóre víscerum, cibus est ánimæ ex cælésti pane comparátus: cuius máxime párticeps fuit María, quæ sedit iuxta pedes Dómini, plorans, vel ipsíus Salvatóris testimónio. Inquit enim: María óptimam partem elégit, quæ non auferétur ab ea. O rectum illum et obsequiósum audítum! O fortem ac sapiéntem ánimum! O arctam societátem sponsæ erga sponsum cæléstem! Imitáre hanc, o fili, imitáre, inquam, nihil áliud íntuens præter eum solum, qui dixit: Ignem veni míttere in terram, et quid volo, si iam accénsus est?
  
  Est enim ardor Spíritus vivíficans et accéndens corda. Quaprópter immateriális et divínus ille ignis illúminat ánimas et probáre consuévit eas, velut aurum non adulterátum in camíno: vítium vero consúmit, véluti spinas et stípulam. Deus enim noster ignis consúmens est, inflígens ultiónem iis in flamma ignis, qui non novérunt eum et qui non obtémperant Evangélio. Hic ignis in apóstolis vim suam exércuit, quando loquebántur linguis ígneis. Hic ignis per vocem Paulum splendóre ac lúmine circumfúdit, mentem quidem illíus illuminávit, sensum autem visus eius hebetávit. Neque enim sine carne vidit lúminis illíus virtútem.
  
  Hic ignis, trabem interióris óculi consúmens, purum reddit ánimum, ut, recépta naturáli facultáte vidéndi, conspíciat perpétuo mirabília Dei, secúndum eum qui inquit: Revéla óculos meos, et considerábo mirábilia de lege tua. Hic ítaque ignis fugat dæmones, tollit peccáta, resuscitándi vim habet; hic immortalitátem operátur, sanctas ánimas illúminat et facultátes rationáles firmat. Hunc ignem obsecrémus ad nos quoque perveníre, ut, perpétuo in lúmine ambulántes, numquam vel tantísper offendámus ad lápidem pedes nostros, sed velut luminária in mundo apparéntia, verbum ætérnæ vitæ retineámus, ut, bonis divínis fruéntes, cum Dómino in vita requiescámus, glorificántes Patrem, et Fílium, et Spíritum Sanctum, cui glória in sæcula. Amen.
  
  r. Rogámus te, Dómine Deus, quia peccávimus tibi; véniam pétimus quam non merémur. Si exspéctas non corrípimur, et si víndicas non durámus. * Manum tuam pórrige lapsis, qui latróni confiténti paradísi iánuas aperuísti. v. Vita nostra in dolóre suspírat, et in ópere non eméndat. * Manum tuam. v. Glória Patri. * Manum tuam.
  
   
  Orémus.
  
  Deus, qui te in rectis et sincéris manére pectóribus ásseris, da nobis tua grátia tales exsístere, * in quibus habitáre dignéris. Per Dóminum.
  O God, Thou affirm that Thou makest Thy home in upright and sincere hearts: give us wherefore the grace to be such that Thou deign to dwell in us.
