Hymnus
Dei fide, qua vívimus, qua spe perénni crédimus, per caritátis grátiam Christi canámus glóriam,

Precémur ergo súbditi, redemptióne líberi, ut éruat a sæculo quos solvit a chirógrapho.
Christum rogámus et Patrem, Christi Patrísque Spíritum; unum potens per ómnia, fove precántes, Trínitas. Amen.

III (Ghimel)
Bénefac servo tuo, et vivam * et custódiam sermónem tuum.
Give bountifully to thy servant, enliven me and I shall keep thy words.
Revéla óculos meos, * et considerábo mirabília de lege tua.
Open thou my eyes: and I will consider the wondrous things of thy law.
Incola ego sum in terra, * non abscóndas a me præcépta tua.
I am a sojourner on the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.
Defécit ánima mea in desiderándo iudícia tua * in omni témpore.
My soul hath coveted too long for thy justifications, at all times.
Increpásti supérbos; * maledícti, qui errant a præcéptis tuis.
Thou hast rebuked the proud: they are cursed who decline from thy commandments.
Aufer a me oppróbrium et contémptum, * quia testimónia tua servávi.
Remove from me reproach and contempt: because I have sought after thy testimonies.
Etsi príncipes sedent et advérsum me loquúntur, * servus tamen tuus exercétur in iustificatiónibus tuis.
For princes sat, and spoke against me: but thy servant was employed in thy justifications.
Nam et testimónia tua delectátio mea, * et consílium meum iustificatiónes tuæ.

Lectio brevis (Is 55, 6-7)
Quærite Dóminum, dum inveníri potest; invocáte eum, dum prope est. Derelínquat ímpius viam suam, et vir iníquus cogitatiónes suas; et revertátur ad Dóminum, et miserébitur eius, et ad Deum nostrum, quóniam multus est ad ignoscéndum.
Seek ye the Lord, while he may be found: call upon him, while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unjust man his thoughts, and let him return to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God: for he is bountiful to forgive.
v. Cor mundum crea in me, Deus. r. Et spíritum firmum ínnova in viscéribus meis.
Orémus.
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.
Largíre nobis, quǽsumus, Dómine, semper spíritum cogitándi quæ recta sunt, prómptius et agéndi, † ut, qui sine te esse non póssumus, * secúndum te vívere valeámus. Per Dóminum.
Inspire us, Lord, to evermore conceive what is right and to do it with alacrity; without Thou we cannot exist, make us live in accordance with Thou.
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.
