O Christ, the life of the Saints: the way and hope of salvation, the giver of uprightness and author of peace, to you with voice and mind we sing a hymn.
Cuius est virtus manifésta totum quod pii possunt, quod habent, quod ore, corde vel factis cúpiunt, amóris igne flagrántes.
Your power has been revealed: all that the holy can do, possess, desire in word, heart or deed, burning with the fire of love.
Témporum pacem, fídei tenórem, lánguidis curam veniámque lapsis, ómnibus præsta páriter beátæ múnera vitæ.
Grant peace in our day, faith preserved, health to the sick, and pardon for the fallen and to all together the gifts of a blessed life.

Quam bonus rectis est Deus, * Deus his, qui mundo sunt corde!
How good God is to those who are pure in heart!
Mei autem pæne moti sunt pedes, * pæne effúsi sunt gressus mei,
My feet were almost shaken, my steps almost reversed,
quia zelávi super gloriántes, * pacem peccatórum videns.
forasmuch as I have envied the wicked, when I behold the peace of sinners.
Quia non sunt eis impediménta, * sanus et pinguis est venter eórum.
For death seems to forget them, and their wounds do not last.
In labóre mortálium non sunt * et cum homínibus non flagellántur.
They have no share in the labor of mortals, and they are not smitten like other men.
Ídeo quasi torques est eis supérbia, * et tamquam induméntum opéruit eos violéntia.
Wherefore pride has seized them; they are covered with their iniquity and ungodliness.
Prodit quasi ex ádipe iníquitas eórum, * erúmpunt cogitatiónes cordis.
Iniquity comes out as from their fat; they have abandoned themselves unto the passions of their hearts.
Subsannavérunt et locúti sunt nequítiam, * iniquitátem ab excélso locúti sunt.
Their thoughts and words have been naught but malice; they have uttered iniquity loudly.
Posuérunt in cælo os suum, * et lingua eórum transívit in terra.
They opened their mouths against Heaven, and their tongues roamed the earth.
Ídeo in alto sedent, * et aquæ plenæ non pervénient ad eos.
Et dixérunt: “Quómodo scit Deus, * et si est sciéntia in Excélso?”
And they said, How does God know? * And does the Most High know about it?
Ecce ipsi peccatóres et abundántes in sǽculo * multiplicavérunt divítias.
Behold at those sinners who abound in everything in this world: they have acquired new riches.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.

Et dixi: “Ergo sine causa mundávi cor meum * et lavi in innocéntia manus meas;
And I said, In vain did I purify my heart, and washed my hands amongst the innocent,
et fui flagellátus tota die, * et castigátio mea in matutínis.”
since I have been afflicted all day, and chastened in the morning.
Si dixíssem: “Lóquar ut illi”, * ecce generatiónem filiórum tuórum prodidíssem.
If I had said, "I will speak in this sense," I would have condemned the race of Thy children.
Et cogitábam, ut cognóscerem hoc; * labor erat in óculis meis,
I thought of penetrating this secret; the difficulty was great before me,
donec intrávi in sanctuárium Dei * et intelléxi novíssima eórum.
until such time as such time as I had entered the sanctuary of God, and understood what their end would be.
Verúmtamen in lúbrico posuísti eos, * deiecísti eos in ruínas.
Verily, these are snares that Thou hast set before them; Thou overthrew them just as they were rising.
Quómodo facti sunt in desolatiónem! * Súbito defecérunt, periérunt præ horróre.
How did they fall into desolation? They disappeared suddenly; they have perished forasmuch as of their iniquity.
Velut sómnium evigilántis, Dómine, * surgens imáginem ipsórum contémnes.
Like the dream of those who awaken, O Lord, Thou shalt reduce their image to naught in Thy city.

For what is there for me in Heaven? and what have I desired from Thou on earth?

My flesh and my heart have failed, O God, who is the God of my heart, and my portion for eternity.
Quia ecce, qui elóngant se a te, períbunt; * perdidísti omnes, qui fornicántur abs te.
For behold, those who depart from thee will perish; Thou hast resolved to destroy all those who prostitute themselves by distancing themselves from Thou.

De libro Zacharíæ prophétæ
Factum est verbum Dómini exercítuum dicens: Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Zelátus sum Sion zelo magno et ardóre magno zelátus sum eam. Hæc dicit Dóminus: Revérsus sum ad Sion et habitábo in médio Ierúsalem; et vocábitur Ierúsalem cívitas Veritátis, et mons Dómini exercítuum mons Sanctitátis. Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Adhuc sedébunt senes et anus in platéis Ierúsalem et unusquísque cum báculo suo in manu sua præ multitúdine diérum; et platéæ civitátis complebúntur púeris et puéllis ludéntibus in platéis eius. Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Si vidébitur diffícile in óculis reliquiárum pópuli huius in diébus illis, numquid étiam in óculis meis diffícile erit? dicit Dóminus exercítuum.
Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Ecce ego salvábo pópulum meum de terra oriéntis et de terra occásus solis: et addúcam eos, et habitábunt in médio Ierúsalem; et erunt mihi in pópulum, et ego ero eis in Deum in veritáte et iustítia.
Hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Conforténtur manus vestræ, qui audítis in his diébus sermónes istos per os prophetárum in die qua fundáta est domus Dómini exercítuum, ut templum ædificarétur. Síquidem ante dies istos merces hóminis non erat, nec merces iuménti erat, neque intrœúnti neque exeúnti erat pax præ tribulatióne; et dimísi omnes hómines, unumquémque contra próximum suum. Nunc autem non iuxta dies prióres ego sum relíquiis pópuli huius, dicit Dóminus exercítuum; sed semen pacis erit: vínea dabit fructum suum, et terra dabit provéntum suum, et possidére fáciam relíquias pópuli huius univérsa hæc.
Et erit: sicut erátis maledíctio in géntibus, domus Iudæ et domus Israel, sic salvábo vos, et éritis benedíctio. Nolíte timére; conforténtur manus vestræ. Quia hæc dicit Dóminus exercítuum: Sicut cogitávi ut afflígerem vos, cum ad iracúndiam provocássent patres vestri me, dicit Dóminus exercítuum, et non sum misértus, sic convérsus cogitávi in diébus istis, ut benefáciam Ierúsalem et dómui Iudæ; nolíte timére.
 
 
In secundo nocturno, anno II
Ex Tractátibus sancti Augustíni epíscopi in Ioánnem (Tract. 26, 4-5: CCL 36, 261-262)
Nemo venit ad me, nisi quem Pater attráxerit. Noli te cogitáre invítum trahi; tráhitur ánimus et amóre. Nec timére debémus ne ab homínibus qui verba perpéndunt, et a rebus máxime divínis intellegéndis longe remóti sunt, in hoc Scripturárum sanctárum evangélico verbo fórsitan reprehendámur, et dicátur nobis: "Quómodo voluntáte credo, si trahor?" Ego dico: "Parum est voluntáte, étiam voluptáte tráheris." Quid est trahi voluptáte? Delectáre in Dómino et dabit tibi petitiónes cordis tui. Est quædam volúptas cordis, cui panis dulcis est ille cæléstis.
Porro si poétæ dícere lícuit: "Trahit sua quemque volúptas", non necéssitas, sed volúptas, non obligátio, sed delectátio, quanto fórtius nos dícere debémus trahi hóminem ad Christum, qui delectátur veritáte, delectátur beatitúdine, delectátur iustítia, delectátur sempitérna vita, quod totum Christus est? An vero habent córporis sensus voluptátes suas, et ánimus deséritur a voluptátibus suis? Si ánimus non habet voluptátes suas, unde dícitur: Fílii autem hóminum sub tégmine alárum tuárum sperábunt, inebriabúntur ab ubertáte domus tuæ et torrénte voluptátis tuæ potábis eos, quóniam apud te est fons vitæ, et in lúmine tuo vidébimus lumen?
Da amántem et sentit quod dico. Da desiderántem, da esuriéntem, da in ista solitúdine peregrinántem atque sitiéntem, et fontem ætérnæ pátriæ suspirántem, da talem, et scit quid dicam. Si autem frígido loquor, nescit quid loquor. Ramum víridem osténdis ovi, et trahis illam. Nuces púero demonstrántur, et tráhitur: et quo currit, tráhitur, amándo tráhitur. Trahit sua quemque volúptas, non trahit revelátus Christus a Patre? Quid enim fórtius desíderat ánima quam veritátem? Quo ávidas fauces habére debet, unde optáre ut sanum sit intus palátum vera iudicándi, nisi ut mandúcet et bibat sapiéntiam, iustítiam, veritátem, æternitátem?
r. Læténtur cæli et exúltet terra, iubiláte, montes, laudem; quia Dóminus noster véniet, * Et páuperum suórum miserébitur. v. Oriétur in diébus eius iustítia et abundántia pacis. * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.
 
Orémus.
Sancti nóminis tui, Dómine, timórem páriter et amórem fac nos habére perpétuum, † quia numquam tua gubernatióne destítuis, * quos in soliditáte tuæ dilectiónis instítuis. Per Dóminum.
Lord, grant that we may evermore have both fear and love of Thy holy name, for Thou never deprive of Thy protection those whom Thou establish in the solidity of Thy love.
