Hymnus
Deus, tuórum mílitum sors et coróna, præmium, laudes canéntes mártyris absólve nexu críminis.
Hic (Hæc) testis ore prótulit quod cordis arca crédidit, Christum sequéndo répperit effusióne sánguinis.
Hic (Hæc) nempe mundi gáudia et blandiménta nóxia cadúca rite députans, pervénit ad cæléstia.
Pœnas cucúrrit fórtiter et sústulit viríliter; pro te refúndens sánguinem, ætérna dona póssidet.
Ob hoc precátu súpplici te póscimus, piíssime; in hoc triúmpho mártyris dimítte noxam sérvulis.
Ut consequámur múneris ipsíus et consórtia, lætémur ac perénniter iuncti polórum sédibus.
Laus et perénnis glória tibi, Pater, cum Fílio, Sancto simul Paráclito in sæculórum sǽcula. Amen.

Thou art the fairest of the sons of man, grace is poured out on thy lips, and wherefore God has blessed thou forevermore.

Thy throne, O God, is established forevermore; the scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.

Lectio brevis (Ap 7, 14-17)
Hi sunt qui venérunt de tribulatióne magna, et lavérunt stolas suas et dealbavérunt eas in sánguine Agni. Ideo sunt ante thronum Dei et sérviunt ei die ac nocte in templo eius; et, qui sedet in throno, habitábit super illos. Non esúrient neque sítient ámplius, nec cadet super illos sol, neque ullus æstus, quóniam Agnus, qui in médio throni est reget illos, et dedúcet eos ad vitæ fontes aquárum; et abstérget Deus omnen lácrimam ab óculis eorum.
These are they who are come out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and have made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore they are before the throne of God, and they serve him day and night in his temple: and he, that sitteth on the throne, shall dwell over them. They shall no more hunger nor thirst, neither shall the sun fall on them, nor any heat. For the Lamb, which is in the midst of the throne, shall rule them, and shall lead them to the fountains of the waters of life, and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.
