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.

Psalm 107 (108)

Laus Domini et imploratio auxilii

Praise the Lord and ask for help

Quia exaltatus est super cælos Dei Filius, super omnem terram eius gloria prædicatur (Arnobius).

The Son of God has been exalted above the heavens. His glory is proclaimed over all the earth (Arnobius).

Parátum cor meum, Deus, † parátum cor meum, * cantábo et psallam. Euge, glória mea!

My heart is strengthened, O God, I will sing and make joyful instruments resound. Arise, my glory!

Exsúrge, psaltérium et cíthara, *excitábo auróram.

Awake, my lyre and my harp, that I awaken the dawn.

Confitébor tibi in pópulis, Dómine, *et psallam tibi in natiónibus,

I will praise Thee amongst the peoples, Lord, I will sing Thee amongst the nations,

quia magna est usque ad cælos misericórdia tua *et usque ad nubes véritas tua.

for Thy goodness is exalted above the heavens, and Thy faithfulness unto the clouds.

Exaltáre super cælos, Deus, *et super omnem terram glória tua.

Lift Yourself up above the heavens, O God, may Thy glory shine on all the earth.

Ut liberéntur dilécti tui, *salvum fac déxtera tua et exáudi me.

That Thy beloved ones may be delivered, save by Thy right hand and hearken unto me.

Deus locútus est in sancto suo: † «Exsultábo et dívidam Síchimam *et convállem Succoth dimétiar;

God spoke in His holiness: "I will rejoice, I will have Shechem as a portion, I will measure the valley of Succot;

meus est Gálaad et meus est Manásses† et Ephraim fortitúdo cápitis mei, *Iuda sceptrum meum.

Gilead is mine, Manasseh is mine, and Ephraim is the armor of my head, Judas my scepter.

Moab lebes lavácri mei; † super Idumæam exténdam calceaméntum meum, *super Philistæam vociferábor».

Moab is the basin where I wash; on Edom I throw My sandal, on the land of the Philistines I shout for joy."

Quis dedúcet me in civitátem munítam? *Quis dedúcet me usque in Idumæam?

Who will lead me unto the fortified city! Who will take me to Edom?

Nonne, Deus, qui reppulísti nos? *Et non exíbis, Deus, in virtútibus nostris?

Was it not Thou, O God, who rejected us? O God who no longer went out with our armies?

Da nobis auxílium de tribulatióne, *quia vana salus hóminis.

Lend us Thy help against the oppressor, for man's help is vanity.

In Deo faciémus virtútem, *et ipse conculcábit inimícos nostros.

In God we will perform deeds, He shall crush our enemies.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Canticum(Is 61,10-62, 5)

Song (Is 61:10-62:5)

Gaudens gaudebo

I tremble with joy

Vestimenta autem eius facta sunt alba sicut nix. Ecce nubes lucida obumbravit eos (Mt 17, 2.5).

His clothes became white as snow. Behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them (Mt 17:2.5).

Gaudens gaudébo in Dómino, *et exsultábit ánima mea in Deo meo,

I will be rejoicing in the Lord, and my heart will rejoice in my God,

quia índuit me vestiméntis salútis *et induménto iustítiæ circúmdedit me,

forasmuch as He hath clothed me with the garments of salvation and covered me with the mantle of righteousness,

quasi sponsum decorátum coróna *et quasi sponsam ornátam monílibus suis.

as the bridegroom adorns his head with a crown, and as the bride adorns herself with her jewels.

Sicut enim terra profert germen suum † et sicut hortus semen suum gérminat, *sic Dóminus Deus germinábit iustítiam et laudem coram univérsis géntibus.

For as the earth brings forth its seedlings, and as a garden sprouts its seed, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to sprout before all nations.

Propter Sion non tacébo *et propter Ierúsalem non quiéscam,

For Zion's sake I will not be silent, and for Jerusalem's sake I will not rest,

donec egrediátur ut splendor iustítia eius, *et salus eius ut lampas accendátur.

until such time as His righteousness rises like the dawn, and His salvation shines like a torch.

Et vidébunt gentes iustítiam tuam *et cuncti reges glóriam tuam;

The nations will behold Thy righteousness, and all kings Thy glory,

et vocáberis nómine novo, *quod os Dómini nominábit.

and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will choose.

Et eris coróna glóriæ in manu Dómini *et diadéma regni in manu Dei tui.

Thou shalt be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, a diadem of kingdom in the hand of thy God.

Non vocáberis ultra Derelícta, *et terra tua non vocábitur ámplius Desoláta;

Thou shalt no longer be called Forsaken, and thy land will no longer be called Desolation.

sed vocáberis Beneplácitum meum in ea, *et terra tua Nupta,

But thou shalt be called My-pleasure-in-her, and thy land Spoused.

quia complácuit Dómino in te, *et terra tua erit nupta.

For the Lord will be pleased with thee, and thy land will have a bridegroom.

Nam ut iúvenis uxórem ducit vírginem, *ita ducent te fílii tui;

As a young man takes a virgin for his wife, thy sons will lead thou;

ut gaudet sponsus super sponsam, *ita gaudébit super te Deus tuus.

and as the bridegroom rejoices over his bride, so God will rejoice over thou.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

who made heaven and earth, the sea, and all things that are in them.

qui custódit veritátem in sǽculum, † facit iudícium oppréssis, * dat escam esuriéntibus.

Who keepeth truth for ever: who executeth judgment for them that suffer wrong: who giveth food to the hungry.

Dóminus solvit compedítos, *Dóminus illúminat cæcos,

The Lord looseth them that are fettered: the Lord enlighteneth the blind.

Dóminus érigit depréssos, *Dóminus díligit iustos,

The Lord lifteth up them that are cast down: the Lord loveth the just.

Dóminus custódit ádvenas,† pupíllum et víduam susténtat *et viam peccatórum dispérdit.
