Magnis prophétæ vócibus veníre Christum núntiant, lætæ salútis prævia, qua nos redémit, grátia.

With mighty voice the prophets cry: “The coming of the Christ is nigh!” His path made straight by saving grace Through which he has redeemed our race.

Hinc mane nostrum prómicat et corda læta exæstuant, cum vox fidélis pérsonat prænuntiátrix glóriæ.

So, here our morning glimmers bright, And hearts brim over with delight At hearing such a voice resound Which heralds glory all around.

Advéntus hic primus fuit, puníre quo non sæculum venit, sed ulcus térgere, salvándo quod períerat.

This Advent was his sacred birth; He did not come to doom the earth, But rather wounds to bind and mend By saving what was lost through sin.

At nos secúndus præmonet adésse Christum iánuis, sanctis corónas réddere cælíque regna pándere.

The second Advent we await When Christ will stand before the gate To open heaven's blest domain And crown the saints to share his reign.

Ætérna lux promíttitur sidúsque salvans prómitur; iam nos iubar præfúlgidum ad ius vocat cæléstium.

Eternal splendor is made known; The saving star has clearly shone. Already heaven's brilliant light Is calling us to what is right.

Te, Christe, solum quǽrimus vidére, sicut es Deus, ut perpes hæc sit vísio perénne laudis cánticum. Amen.

You, Christ, alone we strive to see, Resplendent in divinity; Give us this vision all our days, And grant an endless song of praise.

Apertis thesauris suis, obtulerunt ei munera, aurum et tus et myrrham (Mt 2, 11).

Opening their caskets, the Magi presented Him with gold, frankincense and myrrh.

Deus, iudícium tuum regi da * et iustítiam tuam fílio regis;

O God, give Thy judgments unto the king, and Thy justice unto the king's son;

Florébit in diébus eius iustítia et abundántia pacis, * donec auferátur luna.

Et dominábitur a mari usque ad mare * et a Flúmine usque ad términos orbis terrárum.

Canticum (Ap 11, 17-18; 12, 10 b-12 a)

Canticle (Rev 11:17-18; 12:10 b-12 a)

De iudicio Dei

God's judgment

Grátias ágimus tibi, * Dómine Deus omnípotens,

We thank Thou, Lord, God of the universe,

qui es et qui eras, * quia accepísti virtútem tuam magnam et regnásti.

Thou who are, Thou who were, for Thou tookest hold of Thy great power and reigned.

Et irátæ sunt gentes, * et advénit ira tua, et tempus mortuórum iudicári,

The people were angry, so Thy wrath has come and the time of judgment for the dead,

et réddere mercédem servis tuis prophétis et sanctis * et timéntibus nomen tuum, pusíllis et magnis.

time to reward Thy servants, the saints, the prophets, those who fear Thy name, the small and the great.

Nunc facta est salus et virtus et regnum Dei nostri * et potéstas Christi eius,

Now here is the salvation and the kingdom and the power of our God, this is the power of His Christ,

quia proiéctus est accusátor fratrum nostrórum, * qui accusábat illos ante conspéctum Dei nostri die ac nocte.

for the accuser of our brethren is rejected, who accused them day and night before our God.

Et ipsi vicérunt illum propter sánguinem Agni * et propter verbum testimónii sui;

They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb by the word of which they were witnesses;

et non dilexérunt ánimam suam * usque ad mortem.

renouncing the love of themselves, even unto the point of death.

Proptérea lætámini, cæli * et qui habitátis in eis.

For this reason, wherefore rejoice, O heavens, and thou who dwell in heaven.

Lectio brevis (Iac 5, 7-8. 9b)

Patiéntes estóte, fratres, usque ad advéntum Dómini. Ecce agrícola exspectat pretiósum fructum terræ, patiénter ferens donec accípiat imbrem temporáneum et serótinum. Patiéntes estóte et vos, confirmáte corda vestra, quóniam advéntus Dómini appropinquávit. Ecce iudex ante iánuam assístit.

Be patient therefore, brethren, until the coming of the Lord. Behold, the husbandman waiteth for the precious fruit of the earth: patiently bearing till he receive the early and latter rain. Be you therefore also patient, and strengthen your hearts: for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
