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.

Ecclesia loquitur de iis quæ tolerat (S. Augustinus).
The Church speaks of what it undergoes (S. Augustine).
Sæpe expugnavérunt me a iuventúte mea, * dicat nunc Israel,
Often have they fought against me from my youth, * let Israel now say:
sæpe expugnavérunt me a iuventúte mea, * étenim non potuérunt advérsum me.
Often have they fought against me from my youth, * but they could not prevail against me.
Supra dorsum meum aravérunt aratóres, * prolongavérunt sulcos suos.
The ploughers ploughed upon my back, * they made long their furrows.
Dóminus autem iustus * concídit cervíces peccatórum.
The Lord who is just * will cut the necks of sinners.
Confundántur et convertántur retrórsum * omnes, qui odérunt Sion.
Let them all be confounded and turned back * that hate Sion.
Fiant sicut fenum tectórum * quod, priúsquam evellátur, exáruit;
Let them be as grass upon the housetops, * which withereth before it be plucked up:
de quo non implévit manum suam, qui metit, * et sinum suum, qui manípulos cólligit.
Wherewith the mower filleth not his hand, * nor he that gathereth sheaves his bosom.
Et non dixérunt, qui præteríbant: † «Benedíctio Dómini super vos, * benedícimus vobis in nómine Dómini».
And they that passed by have not said: † “The blessing of the Lord be upon you; * we have blessed you in the name of the Lord.”
