Hymnus
Iesu, redémptor ómnium, perpes coróna cǽlitum, in hac die cleméntius nostris favéto vócibus,
Sacri tui qua nóminis conféssor almus cláruit, cuius célebrat ánnua devóta plebs sollémnia.
Per illa quæ sunt sǽculi gressu seréno tránsiit, tibi fidélis iúgiter iter salútis pérsequens.
At rite mundi gáudiis non cor cadúcis ápplicans, cum ángelis cæléstibus lætus potítur prǽmiis.
Huius benígnus ánnue nobis sequi vestígia; huius precátu sérvulis dimítte noxam críminis.
Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

Peccatóri autem dixit Deus: † «Quare tu enárras præcépta mea * et assúmis testaméntum meum in os tuum?
But God said unto the sinner, Wherefore do thou list My statutes, and wherefore do thou hast My covenant constantly in thy mouth?
Tu vero odísti disciplínam * et proiecísti sermónes meos retrórsum.
Thou who hate discipline, and who have cast My words behind thou.
Si vidébas furem, currébas cum eo; * et cum adúlteris erat pórtio tua.
If thou sawest a thief, thou ranst with him, and thou put thy share with the adulterers.
Os tuum dimittébas ad malítiam, * et língua tua concinnábat dolos.
Thy mouth was filled with malice, and thy tongue plotted fraud.
Sedens advérsus fratrem tuum loquebáris * et advérsus fílium matris tuæ proferébas oppróbrium.
Thou wouldst sit down to speak against thy brother, and thou wouldst set traps against thy mother's son.
Hæc fecísti, et tácui. † Existimásti quod eram tui símilis. * Arguam te et státuam illa contra fáciem tuam.
This is what thou didst, and I was silent. Thou ungodly believed that I would be like thou. I will rebuke thou, and I will put everything before thy eyes.
Intellégite hæc, qui obliviscímini Deum, * nequándo rápiam, et non sit qui erípiat.
Understand these things, thou who forget God; lest He tear apart, and no one can deliver.
Qui immolábit sacrifícium laudis, honorificábit me, † et, qui immaculátus est in via, * osténdam illi salutáre Dei».
