   Born from the heart of the Father
Before the beginning of the world,
Called Alpha and Omega,
Himself the source
And the end of all which exist, Have existed and which afterwards shall exist.
   Córporis formam cadúci, membra morti obnóxia índuit, ne gens períret primoplásti ex gérmine, mérserat quam lex profúndo noxiális tártaro.
   Clothed in the form of the frail body,
His members subject to death,
That the people not perish
From the seed of the firstborn,
Whom the law of death
Submerged in the deepest hell.
   O beátus ortus ille, Virgo cum puérpera édidit nostram salútem feta Sancto Spíritu, et puer redémptor orbis os sacrátum prótulit.
   From the childbearing Virgin,
Which brought forth our salvation
Made fertile by the Holy Spirit,
And the Child, the Redeemer of the world
Revealed his face.

   Behold him of whom the ancient seers
Sang through the centuries,
Him whom before the writing
Of the faithful prophets
Had promised,
Let all things praise him.

   Let us sing the glory of the Father
With melodious voices
Chant glory to Christ,
Born of a Virgin Mother
And eternal glory
To the great Paraclete.
Amen.

   Civitas sancta Ierusalem
   The holy city of Jerusalem
   Accessistis ad Sion montem et civitatem Dei viventis, Ierusalem cælestem (Hebr 12, 22).
   Thou hast come close to Mount Zion, to the city of the living God, which is the heavenly Jerusalem (Hebr 12:22).
   Lætátus sum in eo quod dixérunt mihi: * «In domum Dómini íbimus» .
   I rejoiced at the things that were said to me: We shall go into the house of the Lord.
   Stantes iam sunt pedes nostri * in portis tuis, Ierúsalem.
   Our feet were standing in thy courts, O Jerusalem.
   Ierúsalem, quæ ædificáta est ut cívitas, * sibi compácta in idípsum.
   Jerusalem, which is built as a city, which is compact together.
   Illuc enim ascendérunt tribus, tribus Dómini, * testimónium Israel, ad confiténdum nómini Dómini.
   For thither did the tribes go up, the tribes of the Lord: the testimony of Israel, to praise the name of the Lord.
   Quia illic sedérunt sedes ad iudícium, * sedes domus David.
   Because their seats have sat in judgment, seats upon the house of David.
   Rogáte, quæ ad pacem sunt Ierúsalem: * «Secúri sint diligéntes te!
   Pray ye for the things that are for the peace of Jerusalem: and abundance for them that love thee.
   Fiat pax in muris tuis, * et secúritas in túrribus tuis! ».
   Let peace be in thy strength: and abundance in thy towers.
   Propter fratres meos et próximos meos * loquar: «Pax in te! ».
   For the sake of my brethren, and of my neighbours, I spoke peace of thee.

   Psalm 126 (127)
   Vanus labor sine Domino
   Without the Lord, work is in vain
   Dei ædificatio estis (1 Cor 3, 9).
   In God thou art built up (1 Cor 3:9).
   Nisi Dóminus ædificáverit domum, * in vanum labórant, qui ædíficant eam.
   Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.

   Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
   Vanum est vobis ante lucem súrgere et sero quiéscere, qui manducátis panem labóris, * quia dabit diléctis suis somnum.
   It is vain for you to rise before light, rise ye after ye have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow.
   Ecce heréditas Dómini fílii, * merces fructus ventris.
   When he shall give sleep to his beloved, behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
   Sicut sagíttæ in manu poténtis, * ita fílii iuventútis.
   As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
   Beátus vir, qui implévit pháretram suam ex ipsis: * non confudetur, cum loquétur inimícis suis in porta.
   Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them; he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.

   Deus, qui salútis ætérnæ, beátæ Maríæ virginitáte fecúnda, humáno géneri prǽmia præstitísti, tríbue, quǽsumus, ut ipsam pro nobis intercédere sentiámus, * per quam merúimus Fílium tuum auctórem vitæ suscípere. Qui tecum vivit.
   God, who through the fruitful virginity of the Blessed Mary has procured eternal salvation for the human race, deigns to make us feel the beneficent intercession of her through whom we have received the author of life, Thy Son.
   Si præest sacerdos vel diaconus :
   
   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.

   Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
