Hymnus
Chorus novæ Ierúsalem hymni novam dulcédinem promat, colens cum sóbriis paschále festum gáudiis,
Quo Christus invíctus leo, dracóne surgens óbruto, dum voce viva pérsonat, a morte functos éxcitat.
Quam devorárat ímprobus, prædam refúndit tártarus; captivitáte líbera Iesum sequúntur ágmina.
Triúmphat ille spléndide et dignus amplitúdine, soli políque pátriam unam facit rem públicam.
Ipsum canéndo súpplices Regem precémur mílites, ut in suo claríssimo nos órdinet palátio.
Esto perénne méntibus paschále, Iesu, gáudium et nos renátos grátiæ tuis triúmphis ággrega.
Lord Jesus, grant unto our souls Eternal paschal joy, we pray, And grant a share in victory To those reborn by grace today.
Iesu, tibi sit glória, qui morte victa prǽnites, 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.

Domine, da mihi sapientiam
Lord, give me wisdom.
Dabo vobis os et sapientiam, cui non poterunt resistere... adversarii vestri (Lc 21, 15).
I will give you mouth and knowledge, which all your adversaries will not be able to resist or contradict (Lk 21:15).
Deus patrum meórum et Dómine misericórdiæ, * qui fecísti ómnia verbo tuo
God of my fathers and Lord of mercy, who has made all things by Thy word,
et sapiéntia tua constituísti hóminem, * ut dominarétur creatúris, quæ a te factæ sunt,
and who by Thy wisdom has appointed man, that he should rule over the creatures which Thou hast made,
et dispóneret orbem terrárum in sanctitáte et iustítia * et in directióne cordis iudícium iudicáret,
that he might govern the world in equity and justice, and that he might formulate his judgments with an upright heart:
da mihi sédium tuárum assistrícem sapiéntiam * et noli me reprobáre a púeris tuis,
give me that wisdom which sits with thee on thy throne, and do not cast me out of the number of thy children,
quóniam servus tuus sum ego et fílius ancíllæ tuæ, † homo infírmus et exígui témporis * et minor ad intelléctum iudícii et legum.
for I am Thy servant, and the son of Thy handmaid, a weak man, quick-lived, and little able to understand righteousness and the laws.
Nam, et si quis erit consummátus inter fílios hóminum, † si ab illo abfúerit sapiéntia tua, * in níhilum computábitur.
For if anyone should seem perfect amongst the sons of men, if Thy wisdom is not with him, he shall be considered naught.
Et tecum sapiéntia, quæ novit ópera tua, * quæ et áffuit tunc, cum orbem terrárum fáceres,
And thou hast with thee thy wisdom, which knows thy works, and which was present when thou formed the universe;
et sciébat quid esset plácitum in óculis tuis * et quid diréctum in præcéptis tuis.
she knew what is pleasing in Thy eyes, and what is the rectitude of Thy precepts.
Emítte illam de cælis sanctis tuis * et a sede magnitúdinis tuæ mitte illam,
Send it from heaven, Thy sanctuary, and from the throne of Thy greatness,
ut mecum sit et mecum labóret, * ut sciam quid accéptum sit apud te.
that she may be with me and work with me, and that I may know what is pleasing to Thou.
Scit enim illa ómnia et intéllegit † et dedúcet me in opéribus meis sóbrie * et custódiet me in sua glória.
For she hath knowledge and understanding of all things, and she will guide me in my works with circumspection, and protect me by her power.
