Hymnus
Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor, immótus in te pérmanens, lucis diúrnæ témpora succéssibus detérminans,
O strength, and stay upholding all creation Who ever dost Thyself unmoved abide, Yet day by day the light in due gradation From hour to hour through all its changes guide;
Largíre clarum véspere, quo vita numquam décidat, sed prǽmium mortis sacræ perénnis instet glória.
Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending, An eve untouched by shadows of decay, The brightness of a holy deathbed blending With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.
Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, cum Spíritu Paráclito regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.
Almighty Father, hear our cry, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High, Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.

Lectio brevis (Cf. Gal 6, 9-10)
Short reading (cf. Gal 6:9-10)
Bonum faciámus infatigábiles, témpore enim suo metémus non deficiéntes. Ergo dum tempus habémus, operémur bonum ad omnes, máxime autem ad domésticos fídei.
Let us not tire of doing good; for we will reap in its time, if we do not slacken off. Wherefore, whilst we have time, let us do good to all, and especially to our brethren in the faith.
v. Clamávi in toto corde meo, exáudi me, Dómine. r. Iustificatiónes tuas servábo.
Orémus.
Postea dicitur immediate et sine orémus oratio propria, cum conclusione longiore.
After this the proper prayer is said straightway and without "Let us pray", with the long conclusion.
Protéctor in te sperántium, Deus, sine quo nihil est válidum, nihil sanctum, † multíplica super nos misericórdiam tuam, * ut, te rectóre, te duce, sic bonis transeúntibus nunc utámur, ut iam possímus inhærére mansúris. Per Dóminum.
Protector of those who hope in Thou, O God, without whom naught is solid, naught holy, pour out Thy mercy abundantly upon us, so that under Thy guidance and direction we may now use the transitory goods so that we may even here on earth remain attached to those who remain.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
