Hymnus
Iam surgit hora tértia, qua Christus ascéndit crucem; nil ínsolens mens cógitet, inténdat afféctum precis.
The third hour already rises,
In which Christ ascended the cross;
Nothing unseemly disturbs the mind,
But with sincere desire turn to prayer.
Qui corde Christum súscipit, innóxium sensum gerit votísque præstat sédulis Sanctum meréri Spíritum.
Who welcomes Christ in his heart Keep your conscience pure And he arranges himself with assiduous prayer To deserve the Holy Spirit.
Hæc hora, quæ finem dedit diri vetérno críminis; hinc iam beáta témpora cœpére Christi grátia.
This is the hour that has ended
At the lethargy of the grave crime,
From this moment, now, it has begun,
By the grace of Christ, a happy age;
Iesu, tibi sit glória, qui morte victa prænites, cum Patre et almo Spíritu, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.
All glory, Jesus, be to you, The conqueror whom we adore, The Father and the Spirit blest Who reign with you for evermore.

Quam dúlcia fáucibus meis elóquia tua, * super mel ori meo.

Ut quid, Deus, reppulísti in finem, * irátus est furor tuus super oves páscuæ tuæ?
Wherefore, God, have Thou rejected us forevermore? Wherefore is Thy wrath kindled against the flock of Thy pasture?
Memor esto congregatiónis tuæ, * quam possedísti ab inítio.
Keep in remembrance Thy people whom Thou acquired in the days of old,
Redemísti virgam hereditátis tuæ, * mons Sion, in quo habitásti.
whom Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thy inheritance! Keep in remembrance thy Mount Zion where Thou madest Thy residence;
Leva gressus tuos in ruínas sempitérnas: * ómnia vastávit inimícus in sancto.
carry Thy steps towards these irreparable ruins; the enemy has ravaged everything in the sanctuary.
Rugiérunt, qui odérunt te, in médio congregatiónis tuæ; * posuérunt signa sua in signa.
Thy adversaries roared in the midst of Thy holy courts; they have established their emblems as emblems.
Visi sunt quasi in altum secúrim vibrántes * in silva condénsa.
We have seen them, like the woodcutter, who raises his axe in a thick forest.
Excidérunt iánuas eius in idípsum; * in secúri et áscia deiecérunt.
And now, all the sculptures together; they have broken them with axes and hammers.
Incendérunt igni sanctuárium tuum, * in terram polluérunt tabernáculum nóminis tui;
They have given up unto the fire Thy sanctuary; they have pulled down and profaned the dwelling place of Thy name.
dixérunt in corde suo: «Opprimámus eos simul». * Combussérunt omnes congregatiónes Dei in terra.
They said in their hearts, "Let us destroy them all together!" They burned all the holy places in the land.
Signa nostra non vídimus; † iam non est prophéta, * et apud nos non est qui cognóscat ámplius.
We no longer behold our signs; there is no longer a prophet, and no one amongst us knows how long ...
Usquequo, Deus, improperábit inimícus, * spernet adversárius nomen tuum in finem?
How long, O God, will the oppressor insult, the enemy blaspheme Thy name unceasingly?
Ut quid avértis manum tuam * et tenes déxteram tuam in médio sinu tuo?
Wherefore do Thou withdraw Thy hand and Thy right hand? Draw it from Thy bosom and destroy them!
Deus autem rex noster ante sæcula, * operátus est salútes in médio terræ.
Yet God has been my king since ancient times, He who has wrought so many deliverances on earth.

Lectio brevis (Act 4, 11-12)
Hic est lapis, qui reprobátus est a vobis ædificatóribus, qui factus est in caput ánguli. Et non est in álio áliquo salus, nec enim nomen áliud est sub cælo datum in homínibus, in quo opórtet nos salvos fíeri.
This is the stone which was rejected by you the builders, which is become the head of the corner. Neither is there salvation in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given to men, whereby we must be saved.
