Bright splendor of divinity, O Christ, our only life and light, You bring the sick a remedy, And set our crooked paths aright.

Intonat terræ chorus angelórum cǽlicum carmen, nova sæcla dicens, glóriam Patri, generíque nostro gáudia pacis.

So let the angels' song resound, To usher in the age of grace And tell of glory all around, Proclaiming joy unto our race.

Qui iaces parvus dóminans et orbi, Vírginis fructus sine labe sanctæ, Christe, iam mundo potiáris omni, semper amándus.

You lie, an infant, ruling earth, Now rule our hearts forevermore, To whom a spotless Maid gave birth, O Christ, our most beloved Lord.

Nascéris cælos pátriam datúrus, unus e nobis, caro nostra factus; ínnova mentes, trahe caritátis péctora vinclis.

You came to give us heav'n above, As one of us, you took our flesh; Entwine our hearts with bonds of love And with your grace our minds refresh.

Cœtus exsúltans canit ecce noster ángelis læto sociátus ore, et Patri tecum parilíque Amóri cántica laudis. Amen.

Behold we join the angels' song And cry to you with one accord, To whom all hymns of praise belong, The Holy Trinity, one Lord.

Psalm 2

Messias rex et victor

Messiah, King and victorious

Convenerunt ver adversus puerum tuum Iesum, quem unxisti (Act 4,27)

They have truly banded together against Him whom You anointed (Acts 4:27).

Quare fremuérunt gentes, * et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?

Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?

Astitérunt reges terræ, † et príncipes convenérunt in unum * advérsus Dóminum et advérsus christum eíus:

The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.

“Dirumpámus víncula eórum * et proiciámus a nobis íugum ipsórum!”

Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.

Qui hábitat in cælis, irridébit eos, * Dóminus subsannábit eos.

He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.

Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua * et in furóre suo conturbábit eos:

Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.

“Ego autem constítui regem meum * super Sion, montem sanctum meum!”

But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.

Prædicábo decrétum eíus. † Dóminus dixit ad me: “Fílius meus es tu; * ego hódie génui te.

The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

Póstula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hereditátem tuam * et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.

Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Reges eos in virga férrea * et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos.”

Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

Et nunc, reges, intellégite; * erudímini, qui iudicátis terram.

And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.

Servíte Dómino in timóre * et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.

Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.

Apprehéndite disciplínam, † ne quando irascátur, et pereátis de via, * cum exárserit in brevi ira eíus.

Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way.

Beáti omnes, * qui confídunt in eo.

When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.

Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Laus Domini rerum conditoris

Praise to the Lord creator of all things

Visitabit nos Oriens ex alto... ad dirigendos pedes nostros in viam pacis (Lc 1, 78. 79).

The star from on high has come to visit us and guide our steps on the path of peace. (Lk 1, 78. 79).

Cæli enárrant glóriam Dei, * et ópera mánuum eius annúntiat firmaméntum.

The heavens shew forth the glory of God, and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.

Dies diéi erúctat verbum, * et nox nocti índicat sciéntiam.

Day to day uttereth speech, and night to night sheweth knowledge.

Non sunt loquélæ neque sermónes, * quorum non intellegántur voces:

There are no speeches nor languages, where their voices are not heard.

in omnem terram exívit sonus eórum * et in fines orbis terræ verba eórum.

Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: and their words unto the ends of the world.

Soli pósuit tabernáculum in eis, † et ipse tamquam sponsus procédens de thálamo suo, * exsultávit ut gigas ad curréndam viam.

He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber, Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way:

A fínibus cælórum egréssio eius†et occúrsus eius usque ad fines eórum, * nec est, quod se abscóndat a calóre eius.

His going out is from the end of heaven, And his circuit even to the end thereof: and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.

Et ornátu tuo procéde, currum ascénde * propter veritátem et mansuetúdinem et iustítiam.

And in Thy majesty go forward, mount Thy chariot, fight for truth, meekness and justice.

Et dóceat te mirabília déxtera tua: † sagíttæ tuæ acútæ pópuli sub te cadent * in corda inimicórum regis.

and let Thy right hand cause Thou to do wonderful deeds. Thy arrows are sharp, and peoples will fall at Thy feet, and they will pierce the hearts of the king's enemies.

Sedes tua, Deus, in sǽculum sǽculi; * sceptrum æquitátis sceptrum regni tui.

Thy throne, O God, is established forevermore; the scepter of thy kingdom is a scepter of righteousness.

Dilexísti iustítiam et odísti iniquitátem, † proptérea unxit te Deus, Deus tuus, * óleo lætítiæ præ consórtibus tuis.

De libro Isaíæ prophétæ

Hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: Egrediétur virga de stirpe Iesse, et flos de radíce eius ascéndet; et requiéscet super eum spíritus Dómini: spíritus sapiéntiæ et intelléctus, spíritus consílii et fortitúdinis, spíritus sciéntiæ et timóris Dómini; et delíciæ eius in timóre Dómini. Non secúndum visiónem oculórum iudicábit neque secúndum audítum áurium decérnet; sed iudicábit in iustítia páuperes et decérnet in æquitáte pro mansuétis terræ; et percútiet terram virga oris sui et spíritu labiórum suórum interfíciet ímpium. Et erit iustítia cíngulum lumbórum eius, et fides cinctórium renum eius.

Habitábit lupus cum agno, et pardus cum hædo accubábit; vítulus et leo simul saginabúntur, et puer párvulus minábit eos. Vítula et ursus pascéntur, simul accubábunt cátuli eórum; et leo sicut bos cómedet páleas. Et ludet infans ab úbere super forámine áspidis, et in cavérnam réguli, qui ablactátus fúerit, manum suam mittet. Non nocébunt et non occídent in univérso monte sancto meo, quia plena erit terra sciéntia Dómini, sicut aquæ maris opériunt. In die illa radix Iesse stat in signum populórum; ipsam gentes requírent, et erit sedes eius gloriósa.

Consúrge, consúrge, indúere fortitúdine tua, Sion; indúere vestiméntis glóriæ tuæ, Ierúsalem, cívitas sanctitátis, quia non adíciet ultra, ut pertránseat per te incircumcísus et immúndus. Excútere de púlvere, consúrge, captíva Ierúsalem; solve víncula colli tui, captíva fília Sion. Quia hæc dicit Dóminus: " Gratis venúmdati estis et sine argénto redimémini ". Quia hæc dicit Dóminus Deus: " In Ægýptum descéndit pópulus meus in princípio, ut colónus esset ibi; et Assur sine causa oppréssit eum. Et nunc quid mihi est hic, dicit Dóminus, quóniam ablátus est pópulus meus gratis? Dominatóres eius úlulant, dicit Dóminus, et iúgiter tota die nomen meum blasphemátur. Propter hoc sciet pópulus meus nomen meum in die illa, quia ego ipse qui loquébar: "Ecce adsum". "

Quam pulchri super montes pedes annuntiántis, prædicántis pacem, annuntiántis bonum, prædicántis salútem, dicéntis Sion: " Regnávit Deus tuus! ". Vox speculatórum tuórum: levavérunt vocem, simul exsultábunt, quia óculo ad óculum vidébunt, cum redíerit Dóminus ad Sion. Gaudéte et exsultáte simul, desérta Ierúsalem, quia consolátus est Dóminus pópulum suum, redémit Ierúsalem. Nudávit Dóminus bráchium sanctum suum in óculis ómnium géntium; et vidébunt omnes fines terræ salutáre Dei nostri.

r. Descéndit de cælis Deus verus, a Patre génitus, introívit in úterum Vírginis, nobis ut apparéret visíbilis, indútus carne humána protoparénte édita. * Et exívit per clausam portam Deus et homo, lux et vita, Cónditor mundi. v. Tamquam sponsus Dóminus procédens de thálamo suo * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.

Ex Sermónibus sancti Máximi Taurinénsis epíscopi (Sermo 62, 1.2: CCL 23, 261.262-263)

Bene quodámmodo sanctam hanc diem natális Dómini solem novum vulgus appéllat, et tanta id sui auctoritáte confírmat, ut Iudi étiam atque gentíles in hac voce conséntiant. Cum dicit novum útique et véterem esse demónstrat. Véterem autem díxerim huius mundi solem qui defectiónem pátitur, qui pariétibus exclúditur, qui núbibus obscurátur. Véterem díxerim solem qui vanitáti súbiacet, qui corruptiónem métuit, qui iudícium pertiméscit. Scriptum est enim: Sol convertétur in ténebras et luna in sánguinem.

Veterem, inquam, díxerim qui sceléribus intérest hóminum, adultéria non réfugit, homicídium non declínat et, cum omne genus hóminum nolit esse médium cum áliquid crimen admíttitur, hic solus in cunctis facinóribus stet. Ergo quia hunc véterem esse maniféstum est, novum quem nisi Christum Dóminum reppérimus, de quo scriptum est: Oriétur vobis sol iustítiæ; de quo étiam ex persóna peccatórum dicit Prophéta: Sol non est ortus nobis, et iustítiæ lumen non luxit nobis?

Hic enim sol, cum diáboli ténebris univérsus mundus esset oppréssus, et calígo reférta crimínibus sæculum possidéret, dignátus est último témpore, hoc est incumbénte iam nocte, ortum suæ nativitátis infúndere. Hic est ígitur sol novus, qui claustra pénetrat, inférna réserat, corda rimátur; hic novus est sol, qui Spíritu suo vivíficat mórtua, corrúpta réparat, súscitat iam defúncta, vel qui calóre suo purgat sórdida, exúrit flúida, décoquit vitiósa. Ipse, inquam, est qui in cunctis áctibus nostris pérspicit ómnia ópera nostra, et non tam condémnat crímina quam eméndat.

Hic plane est sol iustus et sápiens, qui non sine discretióne sicut istíus mundi sol bonis ac malis simíliter circumfértur, sed quodam iudício veritátis sancto lucet, óccidit peccatóri. Hoc autem inter utrúmque ínterest solem quod ille iudícium métuit, hic iudícium comminátur; quod ille corruptiónis miníster est, hic æternitátis est Dóminus; quod ille creatúra est hic Creátor.

r. Angelus ad pastóres ait: Annúntio vobis gáudium magnum, quod erit omni pópulo: quia natus est vobis Salvátor, * Qui est Christus Dóminus, in civitáte David. v. Inveniétis infántem pannis involútum, et pósitum in præsépio. * Qui. v. Glória Patri. * Qui.

Pro vigilia protracta, hic adduntur cantica, ut in Appendice, et Evangelium de Missa in vigilia.

For an extended vigil, hymns are added here, as indicated in the Appendix, and the Gospel of the Vigil Mass.

Post Evangelium vel, si non protrahitur vigilia, post responsorium dicitur Te Deum.

After the Gospel or, if the vigil is not prolonged, after the response, the Te Deum is said.

Deinde, nisi Missa in nocte statim sequatur Officium lectionis publice celebratum, dicitur:

Then, unless the Mass of the night straightway follows the Office of Readings celebrated in public, it is said:

Te Deum laudámus : te Dóminum confitémur.

Te ætérnum Patrem, omnis terra venerátur.

Tibi omnes ángeli, tibi cæli et univérsæ potestátes :

tibi chérubim et séraphim, incessábili voce proclámant: "Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dóminus Deus Sábaoth.

Pleni sunt cæli et terra maiestátis glóriæ tuæ."

Te gloriósus Apostolórum chorus, te prophetárum laudábilis númerus, te mártyrum candidátus laudat exércitus.

Te per orbem terrárum sancta confitétur Ecclésia, Patrem imménsæ maiestátis;

venerandum tuum verum et unicum Filium;

Sanctum quoque Paráclitum Spíritum.

Tu rex glóriæ, Christe.

Tu Patris sempitérnus es Fílius. Tu, ad liberándum susceptúrus hóminem,

non horruísti Vírginis úterum.

Tu, devícto mortis acúleo,

aperuísti credéntibus regna cælórum.

Tu ad déxteram Dei sedes, in glória Patris.

Iudex créderis esse ventúrus.

Te ergo quǽsumus, tuis fámulis subvéni, quos pretióso sánguine redemísti.

Ætérna fac cum sanctis tuis in glória numerári.

¶ Salvum fac pópulum tuum, Dómine, et bénedic hereditáti tuæ.

Et rege eos, et extólle illos usque in ætérnum.

Per síngulos dies benedícimus te; et laudámus nomen tuum in sǽculum, et in sǽculum sǽculi.

Dignáre, Dómine, die isto sine peccáto nos custodíre.

Miserére nostri, Dómine, miserére nostri.

Fiat misericórdia tua, Dómine, super nos, quemádmodum sperávimus in te.

In te, Dómine, sperávi: non confúndar in ætérnum.

¶ Hæc ultima pars hymni ad libitum omitti potest.

Si vero Missa sequatur, loco Te Deum, dicitur Glória in excélsis et, omissis ritibus introductionis, statim dicitur collecta Missæ. Deinde fiunt lectiones.

If the Mass follows, instead of the Te Deum, the Gloria in excelsis is said and, omitting the rites of introduction, the collection of the Mass is straightway said. Then the readings are carried out.

In eadem nocte Nativitatis, veritas Horarum impedit regulariter ne Laudes matutinæ statim post Missam de nocte celebrentur.

On the same night of the Nativity, the truth of the Hours regularly prevents Matutinal Lauds from being celebrated straightway after the night's Mass.
