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.

Dómine, Deus salútis meæ, *in die clamávi et nocte coram te.
Lord, God of my salvation, when I cry out at night before Thou.
Intret in conspéctu tuo orátio mea; *inclína aurem tuam ad precem meam.

I am numbered amongst those who descend into the pit, I am like a man without help
Inter mórtuos liber, *sicut vulneráti dormiéntes in sepúlcris;
I am as it were abandoned amongst the dead, like the corpses stretched out in the sepulchre;
quorum non es memor ámplius, *et ipsi de manu tua abscíssi sunt.

Longe fecísti notos meos a me, *posuísti me abominatiónem eis;
Thou hast kept my friends away from me, thou hast made me an object of horror for them;
conclúsus sum et non egrédiar. *Oculi mei languérunt præ afflictióne.
I am imprisoned without being able to get out; my eyes are consumed in suffering.
Clamávi ad te, Dómine, tota die, *expándi ad te manus meas.
I call upon Thee all day long, the Lord, I stretch out my hands to Thee.
Numquid mórtuis fácies mirabília, *aut surgent umbræ et confitebúntur tibi?
Will thou work a miracle for the dead? or will the shadows rise to praise Thou?
Numquid narrábit áliquis in sepúlcro misericórdiam tuam *et veritátem tuam in loco perditiónis?
Is Thy goodness in the tomb proclaimed, Thy faithfulness in the abyss?
Numquid cognoscéntur in ténebris mirabília tua *et iustítia tua in terra obliviónis?
Are Thy wonders known in the region of darkness and Thy righteousness in the land of oblivion?
Et ego ad te, Dómine, clamávi, *et mane orátio mea prævéniet te.
And I, Lord, cry out to Thou, my prayer goes to meet Thou in the morning.
Ut quid, Dómine, repéllis ánimam meam, *abscóndis fáciem tuam a me?
Wherefore, Lord, do Thou reject my soul, hide Thy face from me?
Pauper sum ego et móriens a iuventúte mea; *portávi pavóres tuos et conturbátus sum.

Super me transiérunt iræ tuæ, *et terróres tui excidérunt me.
Thy fury passes over me, Thy terrors overwhelm me.
Circuiérunt me sicut aqua tota die, *circumdedérunt me simul.

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.
v. Surréxit Dóminus vere, allelúia. r.. Et appáruit Simóni, allelúia.
v. The Lord is verily risen, hallelujah. r. And He appeared to Simon, hallelujah.

Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:

Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
