Hymnus
Urbs Ierúsalem beáta, dicta pacis vísio, quæ constrúitur in cælis vivis ex lapídibus, angelísque coronáta sicut sponsa cómite,
Nova véniens e cælo, nuptiáli thálamo præparáta, ut intácta copulétur Dómino. Platéæ et muri eius ex auro puríssimo;
Portæ nitent margarítis ádytis paténtibus, et virtúte meritórum illuc introdúcitur omnis qui ob Christi nomen hic in mundo prémitur.
Tunsiónibus, pressúris expolíti lápides suis coaptántur locis per manum artíficis; disponúntur permansúri sacris ædifíciis.
Glória et honor Deo usquequáque altíssimo, una Patri Filióque atque Sancto Flámini, quibus laudes et potéstas per ætérna sǽcula. Amen.

Lectio brevis (Ap 21, 1 a. 2-3. 22. 27)
Vidi civitátem sanctam Ierúsalem novam descendéntem de cælo a Deo, parátam sicut sponsam ornátam viro suo. Et audívi vocem magnam de throno dicéntem: «Ecce tabernáculum Dei cum homínibus! Et habitábit cum eis, et ipsi pópuli eius erunt, et ipse Deus cum eis erit eórum Deus». Et templum non vidi in ea: Dóminus enim Deus omnípotens templum illíus est, et Agnus. Nec intrábit in ea áliquid coinquinátum et fáciens abominatiónem et mendácium, nisi qui scripti sunt in libro vitæ Agni.

quia fecit mihi magna, qui potens est, * et sanctum nomen eius,
et misericórdia eius in progénies et progénies * timéntibus eum.
Fecit poténtiam in bráchio suo, * dispérsit supérbos mente cordis sui;
depósuit poténtes de sede * et exaltávit húmiles;
esuriéntes implévit bonis * et dívites dimísit inánes.
Suscépit Israel púerum suum, * recordátus misericórdiæ,

Preces
Iesum, qui sperántes in se non derelínquit, húmili deprecatióne rogémus :
To Jesus, who does not abandon those who put their trust in Him, we ask with humble prayer:
Deus noster, exáudi nos.
Thou our God, hearken unto us.
Illuminátor noster, Christe Dómine, Ecclésiam tuam illústra lúmine tuo,
Thou who enlighten us, Christ Lord, let Thy light shine on Thy Church
— ut géntibus prǽdicet te, magnum pietátis sacraméntum, manifestátum in carne.
— let the great mystery of Thy goodness revealed in the flesh be proclaimed unto the nations.
Sacerdótes et minístros Ecclésiæ tuæ serva,
Guard the priests and ministers of Thy Church,
— ut, cum áliis prædicáverint, ipsi fidéles in tuo servítio inveniántur.
— so that when they preach they may be found faithful to Thy service.
Qui pacem mundo præstitísti per sánguinem tuum,
Thou who have given peace unto the world by Thy blood,
— discórdiæ peccátum et belli flagéllum avérte.
— save him from the sin of discord and the scourge of war.
Grátiæ tuæ cópia coniugátis auxiliáre,
Grant the abundance of Thy grace to those who are married,
— quo perféctius signíficent Ecclésiæ tuæ mystérium.

Omnibus concéde defúnctis véniam peccatórum,
To all the departed, grant forgiveness of their sins,
— ut per misericórdiam tuam inter sanctos respírent.

Pater noster
Pater noster, qui es in cælis:
Our Father, who art in heaven,
sanctificétur nomen tuum;
Hallowed be thy name.
advéniat regnum tuum;
Thy kingdom come.
fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie;
Give us this day our daily bread.
et dimítte nobis débita nostra,

sed líbera nos a malo.
But deliver us from evil.
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.
Deus, qui de vivis et eléctis lapídibus ætérnum habitáculum tuæ prǽparas maiestáti, † multíplica in Ecclésia tua spíritum grátiæ, quem dedísti, * ut fidélis tibi pópulus in cæléstis ædificatiónem Ierúsalem semper accréscat. Per Dóminum.
God, who prepares an eternal dwelling place for Thy majesty with living and chosen stones, multiply in Thy Church the spirit of grace which Thou hast given, so that Thy faithful people may evermore grow for the building up of the Jerusalem of heaven.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.

Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.

Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
v. Ite in pace. r. Deo grátias.
v. Go in peace. r. Let us give thanks to God.
Absente sacerdote vel diacono, et in recitatione a solo, sic concluditur:
In the absence of a deacon or a priest, and in the recitation alone, it is concluded thus:
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et ad vitam perdúcat ætérnam. r. Amen.
May the Lord bless us, forbid us from all evil, and bring us to eternal life. r. Amen.
