Certum tenéntes órdinem, pio poscámus péctore hora diéi tértia trinæ virtútis glóriam,
Now holding fast to God's design, As daylight reaches its third hour, With pious hearts let us implore The glory of his threefold pow'r.

Although this order marches on, Yet God the maker has ordained That through the passing things of earth Rewards eternal should be gained.

To God the Father glory be And glory to his only Son And to the Spirit Paraclete Forevermore while ages run.

Iudicáte egéno et pupíllo, *húmilem et páuperem iustificáte.
Erípite páuperem *et egénum de manu peccatóris liberáte».
Nesciérunt, neque intellexérunt, in ténebris ámbulant; *movebúntur ómnia fundaménta terræ.
Ego dixi: «Dii estis *et fílii Excélsi omnes» .
Vos autem sicut hómines moriémini *et sicut unus de princípibus cadétis.

Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
Deus, qui Fílio tuo in cruce exaltáto compatiéntem Matrem astáre voluísti, † da Ecclésiæ tuæ, ut, Christi passiónis cum ipsa consors effécta, eiúsdem resurrectiónis párticeps esse mereátur. Qui tecum.
Dóminus vobíscum.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
