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.
