Hymnus
Hæc hora, quæ resplénduit crucísque solvit núbila, mundum tenébris éxuens, reddens seréna lúmina.
This hour shines forth
And dissolves the black clouds of the cross,
Rescues the world from darkness
And returns the light of peace.
Hæc hora, qua resúscitans Iesus sepúlcris córpora, prodíre mortis líbera iussit refúso spíritu.
This is the hour when Jesus
Raises the bodies from the tombs
And commands that they come forth free of death
And infused again with breath.
Nováta sæcla crédimus mortis solútis légibus, vitæ beátæ múnera cursum perénnem cúrrere.
We believe in a new world,
loosened from the laws of death,
the gifts of blessed life
running an eternal course.
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.

Quómodo diléxi legem tuam, Dómine; * tota die meditátio mea est.
How have I loved thy law, O Lord! it is my meditation all the day.
Super inimícos meos sapiéntem me fecit præcéptum tuum, * quia in ætérnum mihi est.
Through thy commandment, thou hast made me wiser than my enemies: for it is ever with me.
Super omnes docéntes me prudens factus sum, * quia testimónia tua meditátio mea est.
I have understood more than all my teachers: because thy testimonies are my meditation.
Super senes intelléxi, * quia mandáta tua servávi.
I have had understanding above ancients: because I have sought thy commandments.
Ab omni via mala prohíbui pedes meos, * ut custódiam verba tua.
I have restrained my feet from every evil way: that I may keep thy words.
A iudíciis tuis non declinávi, * quia tu legem posuísti mihi.
I have not declined from thy judgments, because thou hast set me a law.
Quam dúlcia fáucibus meis elóquia tua, * super mel ori meo.
How sweet are thy words to my palate! more than honey to my mouth.
A mandátis tuis intelléxi; * proptérea odívi omnem viam mendácii.
By thy commandments I have had understanding: therefore have I hated every way of iniquity.

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.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, and ever shall be. Amen.

Réspice in testaméntum, * quia repléta sunt latíbula terræ tentóriis violéntiæ.

Ne revertátur húmilis factus confúsus; * pauper et inops laudábunt nomen tuum.

Exsúrge, Deus, iúdica causam tuam; † memor esto improperiórum tuórum, * quæ ab insipiénte fiunt tota die.
