Hymnus
Verbum supérnum pródiens, a Patre lumen éxiens, qui natus orbi súbvenis cursu declívi témporis:
Illúmina nunc péctora tuóque amóre cóncrema; audíta per præcóni sint pulsa tandem lúbrica.
Iudéxque cum post áderis rimári facta péctoris, reddens vicem pro ábditis iustísque regnum pro bonis,
Non demum artémur malis pro qualitáte críminis, sed cum beátis cómpotes simus perénnes cǽlites.
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.

De libro Isaíæ prophétæ
Ecce nomen Dómini venit de longínquo, ardens furor eius et gravis eius fragor; lábia eius repléta sunt indignatióne et lingua eius quasi ignis dévorans. Spíritus eius velut torrens inúndans usque ad collum pertíngens, ad cribrándas gentes in cribro funésto, et frenum dolósum in maxíllis populórum. Cánticum erit vobis sicut nox sanctificátæ sollemnitátis et lætítia cordis sicut eius qui ad sonum tíbiæ pergit in montem Dómini, ad petram Israel. Et audítam fáciet Dóminus glóriam vocis suæ et terrórem bráchii sui osténdet in comminatióne furóris et flamma ignis devorántis, in túrbine et in imbre et in lápide grándinis.
A voce enim Dómini pavébit Assýrius virga percússus. Et erit omnis ictus báculi percutiéntis quem requiéscere fáciet Dóminus super eum in týmpanis et cítharis, et in bellis agitátis expugnábit eos. Præparáta est enim ab heri Topheth, præparáta, profúnda et dilatáta, in pyra eius ignis et ligna multa; flatus Dómini sicut torrens súlphuris succéndit eam.
Quia hæc dicit Dóminus ad me: " Quómodo si rugit leo et cátulus leónis super prædam suam, cum occúrrerit ei multitúdo pastórum, a voce eórum non formidábit et a multitúdine eórum non pavébit, sic descéndet Dóminus exercítuum, ut prœliétur super montem Sion et super collem eius. Sicut aves volántes, sic próteget Dóminus exercítuum Ierúsalem, prótegens et líberans, parcens et salvans. " Convertímini ad eum a quo pénitus recesserátis, fílii Israel. In die enim illa abíciet vir idóla argéntea sua et idóla áurea sua quæ fecérunt vobis manus vestræ in peccátum; et cadet Assýria in gládio non viri, et gládius non hóminis vorábit eum, et fúgiet a fácie gládii, et iúvenes eius vectigáles erunt. Et fortitúdo eius præ terróre transíbit, et pavébunt signum príncipes eius, dixit Dóminus, cuius ignis est in Sion, et camínus eius in Ierúsalem.
r. Docébit nos Dóminus vias suas et ambulábimus in sémitis eius; * Quia de Sion exíbit lex et verbum Dómini de Ierúsalem. v. Veníte, ascendámus ad montem Dómini, et ad domum Dei Iacob. * Quia de. v. Glória Patri. * Quia de.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Bernardi abbátis (Sermo 2 de Adventu, 4-5: EC 4, 173-174)
Maniféstum árbitror quænam sit virga de radíce Iesse procédens, quis vero flos, super quem requiéscit Spíritus Sanctus. Quóniam Virgo Dei Génetrix virga est, flos Fílius eius. Flos útique Vírginis Fílius, flos cándidus et rubicúndus, eléctus ex mílibus, flos, in quem prospícere desíderant ángeli, flos, ad cuius odórem revivíscunt mórtui, et sicut ipse testátur, flos campi est, et non horti. Campus enim sine omni humáno floret adminículo, non seminátus ab áliquo, non defóssus sárculo, non impinguátus fimo. Sic omníno, sic Vírginis alvus flóruit, sic invioláta, íntegra et casta Maríæ víscera, tamquam páscuæ ætérni viróris florem protulére, cuius pulchritúdo non vídeat corruptiónem, cuius glória in perpétuum non marcéscat.
O Virgo, virga sublímis, in quam sublíme vérticem sanctum érigis! Usque ad sedéntem in throno, usque ad Dóminum maiestátis. Neque enim id mirum, quóniam in altum mittis radíces humilitátis. O vere cæléstis planta, pretiósior cunctis, sánctior univérsis! O vere lignum vitæ, quod solum fuit dignum portáre fructum salútis! Deprehénsa est, malígne serpens, versútia tua, nudáta est plane fálsitas tua. Duo imposúeras creatóri: mendácii et invídiæ infamáveras eum; sed in utróque convíctus es esse mentítus. Síquidem ab inítio móritur, cui díxeras: Nequáquam moriéris, et véritas Dómini manet in ætérnum. Sed et nunc respónde, si potes, quam ei árborem, cuius árboris fructum invidére pótuit, qui ne hanc quidem virgam eléctam et fructum sublímem negávit? Etenim qui próprio Fílio non pepércit, quómodo non ómnia simul cum illo donávit?
Sed iam advertístis, ni fallor, quóniam Virgo régia ipsa est via, per quam Salvátor advénit, procédens ex ipsíus útero, tamquam sponsus de thálamo suo. Tenéntes ergo viam, studeámus et nos, dilectíssimi, ad ipsum, per eam ascéndere, qui per ipsam ad nos descéndit; per eam veníre in grátiam ipsíus, qui per eam in nostram misériam venit.
r. Prope est ut véniat tempus eius, et dies eius non elongabúntur: * Miserébitur Dóminus Iacob, et Israel salvábitur. v. Qui ventúrus est véniet et non tardábit; iam non erit timor in fínibus nostris, quóniam ipse est Salvátor noster. * Miserébitur Dóminus. v. Glória Patri. * Miserébitur Dóminus.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
