Hymnus
Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor, immótus in te pérmanens, lucis diúrnæ témpora succéssibus detérminans,
O strength, and stay upholding all creation Who ever dost Thyself unmoved abide, Yet day by day the light in due gradation From hour to hour through all its changes guide;
Largíre clarum véspere, quo vita numquam décidat, sed prǽmium mortis sacræ perénnis instet glória.
Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending, An eve untouched by shadows of decay, The brightness of a holy deathbed blending With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.
Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, cum Spíritu Paráclito regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.
Almighty Father, hear our cry, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High, Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.
Ant. Deus creávit me in iustítia, et apprehéndit manum meam, et servávit me.
Ant. God created me in righteousness, took me by the hand and used me.

When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, we became like men comforted.
Tunc replétum est gáudio os nostrum, * et lingua nostra exsultatióne.
Then was our mouth filled with gladness; and our tongue with joy.
Tunc dicébant inter gentes: * «Magnificávit Dóminus fácere cum eis».
Then shall they say among the Gentiles: The Lord hath done great things for them.
Magnificávit Dóminus fácere nobíscum; * facti sumus lætántes.
The Lord hath done great things for us: we are become joyful.
Convérte, Dómine, captivitátem nostram, * sicut torréntes in austro.
Turn again our captivity, O Lord, as a stream in the south.
Qui séminant in lácrimis, * in exsultatióne metent.
They that sow in tears shall reap in joy.
Eúntes ibant et flebant * semen spargéndum portántes;
Going they went and wept, casting their seeds.
veniéntes autem vénient in exsultatióne * portántes manípulos suos.
But coming they shall come with joyfulness, carrying their sheaves.

Vanus labor sine Domino
Without the Lord, work is in vain
Dei ædificatio estis (1 Cor 3, 9).
In God thou art built up (1 Cor 3:9).
Nisi Dóminus ædificáverit domum, * in vanum labórant, qui ædíficant eam.

Nisi Dóminus custodíerit civitátem, * frustra vígilat, qui custódit eam.

Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere † et sero quiéscere, qui manducátis panem labóris, * quia dabit diléctis suis somnum.
It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after ye have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow.
Ecce heréditas Dómini fílii, * merces fructus ventris.
When he shall give sleep to his beloved, behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
Sicut sagíttæ in manu poténtis, * ita fílii iuventútis.
As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
Beátus vir, qui implévit pháretram suam ex ipsis: * non confudetur, cum loquétur inimícis suis in porta.
Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.

Lectio brevis (Cf. Eph 5, 25-27)
Short reading (cf. Eph 5:25-27)
Christus diléxit ecclésiam et seípsum trádidit pro ea, ut illam sanctificáret, ut exhibéret ipse sibi gloriósam ecclésiam non habéntem máculam aut rugam aut áliquid eiúsmodi, sed ut sit sancta et immaculáta.
Christ loved the Church and gave Himself up for her, in order to sanctify her, after having purified her in baptismal water, with the word, to make her appear, before Him, this Church, glorious, without spot, without wrinkle, or aught of the kind, but holy and immaculate.
