Hymnus
Lucis largítor spléndide, cuius seréno lúmine post lapsa noctis témpora dies refúsus pánditur,
O splendid Giver of the light, Though darkness covered earth before, Now that the gloomy night has passed, Thy brightness fills the sky once more.
Tu verus mundi lúcifer, non is qui parvi síderis ventúræ lucis núntius angústo fulget lúmine,
Thou art the world's true Morning Star, Not that which dimly in the night Is herald of the dawn to come And shines with only meager light,
Sed toto sole clárior, lux ipse totus et dies intérna nostri péctoris illúminans præcórdia.
But brighter even than the sun, The clearest Light and Day thou art, Enlightening with blazing rays The inner depths of mind and heart.
Evíncat mentis cástitas quæ caro cupit árrogans, sanctúmque puri córporis delúbrum servet Spíritus.
Let chastity of mind prevail, And let not baser wants endure, But send the Holy Ghost to keep The temple of our bodies pure.
Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.
To thee, O Christ, our gracious king, And to thy Father, glory be, Who with the Spirit Paraclete Forever reign in majesty.

Qui sitit, veniat; qui vult, accipiat aquam vitæ (Ap 22, 17).
He who thirsts, let him come and receive the water of life (Rev 22:17).
Quemádmodum desíderat cervus ad fontes aquárum, * ita desíderat ánima mea ad te, Deus.
Sitívit ánima mea ad Deum, Deum vivum; * quando véniam et apparébo ante fáciem Dei?
Fuérunt mihi lácrimæ meæ panis die ac nocte, * dum dícitur mihi quotídie: «Ubi est Deus tuus?».
Hæc recordátus sum et effúdi in me ánimam meam; † quóniam transíbam in locum tabernáculi admirábilis * usque ad domum Dei,
in voce exsultatiónis et confessiónis, * multitúdinis festa celebrántis.
Quare tristis es, ánima mea, * et quare conturbáris in me?
Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi, * salutáre vultus mei et Deus meus.
In meípso ánima mea contristáta est; † proptérea memor ero tui * de terra Iordánis et Hermónim, de monte Misar.
Abyssus abyssum ínvocat in voce cataractárum tuárum; * omnes gúrgites tui et fluctus tui super me transiérunt.
In die mandávit Dóminus misericórdiam suam, † et nocte cánticum eius apud me est: * orátio ad Deum vitæ meæ.
Dicam Deo: * «Suscéptor meus es.
Quare oblítus es mei, et quare contristátus incédo, * dum afflígit me inimícus?».
Dum confringúntur ossa mea, † exprobravérunt mihi, qui tríbulant me, * dum dicunt mihi quotídie: «Ubi est Deus tuus?».
Quare tristis es, ánima mea, * et quare conturbáris in me?
Spera in Deo, quóniam adhuc confitébor illi, * salutáre vultus mei et Deus meus.
