Dear framer of the starry clime, Your faithful’s light beyond all time, O Christ, Redeemer of us all, We beg you, hear us when we call.

Qui cóndolens intéritu mortis períre sǽculum, salvásti mundum lánguidum, donans reis remédium,

You shared the grief of all mankind —An age to death and doom consigned— The weary world you came to save, To men condemned reprieve you gave.

Vergénte mundi véspere, uti sponsus de thálamo, egréssus honestíssima Vírginis matris cláusula.

As Bridegroom from his chamber come, When darkness fell and night wore on, You set your foot upon the earth, From Virgin shrine you had your birth.

Cuius forti poténtiæ genu curvántur ómnia; cæléstia, terréstria nutu faténtur súbdita.

To whose most dreadful might must bend All heav’n and earth, from end to end, Their knee unto your majesty, Their will unto to your sov’reignty.

Te, Sancte, fide quǽsumus, ventúre iudex sæculi, consérva nos in témpore hostis a telo pérfidi.

To you, O Holy One, we pray, Who are to come on judgment day, When press on us the pow’rs of hell, The foe’s deceitful darts repel.

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.

Crédidi, étiam cum locútus sum: * «Ego humiliátus sum nimis».

I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

Ego dixi in trepidatióne mea: * «Omnis homo mendax».

I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

Quid retríbuam Dómino * pro ómnibus, quæ retríbuit mihi?

What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things that he hath rendered to me?

precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

O Dómine, ego servus tuus, * ego servus tuus et fílius ancíllæ tuæ.

O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

Dirupísti víncula mea: † tibi sacrificábo hóstiam laudis * et nomen Dómini invocábo.

I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

Canticum (Phil 2, 6-11)

Song (Phil 2:6-11)

De Christo, servo Dei

Christ, servant of God

Christus Iesus, cum in forma Dei esset, * non rapínam arbitrátus est esse se æquálem Deo,

Christ Jesus, although He was in the condition of God, did not retain of Himself His equality with God,

sed semetípsum exinanívit formam servi accípiens,† in similitúdinem hóminum factus; * et hábitu invéntus ut homo,

but He emptied Himself, taking the form of a slave, making Himself like men; recognized as a man by all that has appeared of Him,

humiliávit semetípsum † factus obœdiens usque ad mortem, * mortem autem crucis.

He humbled Himself, making Himself obedient unto death, and unto the death of the cross.

Propter quod et Deus illum exaltávit † et donávit illi nomen, * quod est super omne nomen,

Wherefore also God has exalted Him, and has given Him the name which is above every name,

ut in nómine Iesu omne genu flectátur * cæléstium et terréstrium et infernórum

so that in the Name of Jesus every knee may bow in heaven and on earth and in hell,

et omnis língua confiteátur: * «Dóminus Iesus Christus!», in glóriam Dei Patris.

and let every tongue confess, "Jesus Christ is Lord!" unto the glory of God the Father.
