NOW Christ, Thou Sun of righteousness, let dawn our darkened spirits bless: the light of grace to us restore while day to earth returns once more.

Dans tempus acceptábile et pænitens cor tríbue, convértat ut benígnitas quos longa suffert píetas;

Thou who dost give the accepted time, give, too, a heart that mourns for crime, let those by mercy now be cured whom loving - kindness long endured.

Quiddámque pæniténtiæ da ferre, quo fit démptio, maióre tuo múnere, culpárum quamvis grándium.

Spare not, we pray, to send us here some penance kindly but severe, so let Thy gift of pardoning grace our grievous sinfulness efface.

Dies venit, dies tua, per quam reflórent ómnia; lætémur in hac ut tuæ per hanc redúcti grátiæ.

Soon will that day, Thy day, appear and all things with its brightness cheer: we will rejoice in it, as we return thereby to grace, and Thee.

Te rerum univérsitas, clemens, adóret, Trínitas, et nos novi per véniam novum canámus cánticum. Amen.

Let all the world from shore to shore Thee, gracious Trinity, adore; right soon Thy loving pardon grant, that we our new-made song may chant. Amen.

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.

Lectio brevis (Deut 7, 6b. 8-9)

Te elégit Dóminus Deus tuus, ut sis ei pópulus peculiáris de cunctis pópulis, qui sunt super terram, quia diléxit vos Dóminus et custodívit iuraméntum, quod iurávit pátribus vestris, edúxit vos in manu forti et redémit te de domo servitútis, de manu pharaónis regis Ægypti. Et scies quia Dóminus Deus tuus ipse est Deus, Deus fidélis, custódiens pactum et misericórdiam diligéntibus se et his, qui custódiunt mandáta eius, in mille generatiónes.
