Hymnus
Christe, pastórum caput atque princeps, géstiens huius celebráre festum, débitas sacro pia turba psallit cármine laudes.
pro papa:
Quas oves déderas, ovíle orbis ut totus fíeret sacrátum, hic tuo nutu pósitus suprémo cúlmine rexit.
pro episcopo:
Strénuum bello púgilem supérni chrísmatis pleno tuus unxit intus Spíritus dono, posuítque sanctam páscere gentem.
pro presbytero:
Hunc tibi eléctum fáciens minístrum ac sacerdótem sócians, dedísti dux ut astaret pópulo fidélis ac bonus altor.
Hic gregis ductor fuit atque forma, lux erat cæco, mísero levámen, próvidus cunctis pater omnibúsque ómnia factus.
Christe, qui sanctis méritam corónam reddis in cælis, dócili magístrum fac sequi vita, similíque tandem fine potíri.
Æqua laus summum célebret Paréntem teque, Salvátor, pie rex, per ævum; Spíritus Sancti résonet per omnem glória mundum.

Dómine, exáudi oratiónem meam, * et clamor meus ad te véniat.
Lord, hearken my prayer, and let my cry go to Thou.
Non abscóndas fáciem tuam a me; † in quacúmque die tríbulor, * inclína ad me aurem tuam.
Do not turn thy face away from me; on whatever day I am in tribulation, incline thy ear unto me.
In quacúmque die invocávero te, * velóciter exáudi me.
On whatever day I call upon Thou, hearken unto me quickly.
Quia defecérunt sicut fumus dies mei, * et ossa mea sicut crémium aruérunt.

Percússum est ut fenum et áruit cor meum, * étenim oblítus sum comédere panem meum.
I was smitten like grass, and my heart withered, forasmuch as I forgot to eat my bread.
A voce gémitus mei * adhǽsit os meum carni meæ.
By dint of my voice moaning, my bones have attached themselves to my skin.
Símilis factus sum pellicáno solitúdinis, * factus sum sicut nyctícorax in ruínis. Vigilávi * et factus sum sicut passer solitárius in tecto.
I have become like the pelican of the desert; I became like the queen's owl. I have been watching, and I have become like the sparrow that stands alone on the roof.
Tota die exprobrábant mihi inimíci mei, * exardescéntes in me per me iurábant.
All day long my enemies insulted me, and those who praised me conspired against me.
Quia cínerem tamquam panem manducábam * et potum meum cum fletu miscébam,

a fácie iræ et increpatiónis tuæ, * quia élevans allisísti me.
The aspect of Thy anger and indignation, for after thee raised me thou crushed me.
Dies mei sicut umbra declinavérunt, * et ego sicut fenum árui.
My days have vanished like a shadow, and I have dried up like grass.

But Thou, Lord, stand forevermore, and the memory of Thy name extends from race to race.
Tu exsúrgens miseréberis Sion, † quia tempus miseréndi eíus, * quia venit tempus,
Thou shalt arise, and Thou shalt have mercy on Zion, for the time has come, the time to have mercy on her, and the time has come.

Quia prospéxit de excélso sanctuário suo, * Dóminus de cælo in terram aspéxit,
forasmuch as He looked down from the height of His holy place. The Lord looked from heaven to earth,
ut audíret gémitus compeditórum, * ut sólveret fílios mortis;
to hearken the groans of the captives in chains, to deliver the sons of those who had been slain,
ut annúntient in Sion nomen Dómini * et laudem eíus in Ierusálem,
that they may preach the name of the Lord in Zion, and His praise in Jerusalem,

They will perish, but Thou shalt remain; and they will all age like a garment. Thou shalt change them like a garment with which one covers oneself, and they will be changed;
Tu autem idem ipse es, * et anni tui non defícient.
but Thou art still the same, and Thy years will not pass away.
Fílii servórum tuórum habitábunt, * et semen eórum in conspéctu tuo firmábitur.”

De Epístula prima beáti Pauli apóstoli ad Corínthios
Christus resurréxit a mórtuis, primítiæ dormiéntium. Quóniam enim per hóminem mors, et per hóminem resurréctio mortuórum: sicut enim in Adam omnes moriúntur, ita et in Christo omnes vivificabúntur. Unusquísque autem in suo órdine: primítiæ Christus; deínde hi, qui sunt Christi, in advéntu eius; deínde finis, cum tradíderit regnum Deo et Patri, cum evacuáverit omnem principátum et omnem potestátem et virtútem.
Opórtet autem illum regnáre, donec ponat omnes inimícos sub pédibus eius. Novíssima autem inimíca destruétur mors; ómnia enim subiécit sub pédibus eius. Cum autem dicat: " Omnia subiécta sunt ", sine dúbio præter eum qui subiécit ei ómnia. Cum autem subiécta fúerint illi ómnia, tunc ipse Fílius subiéctus erit illi qui sibi subiécit ómnia, ut sit Deus ómnia in ómnibus.
Alióquin quid fácient, qui baptizántur pro mórtuis? Si omníno mórtui non resúrgunt, ut quid et baptizántur pro illis? Ut quid et nos periclitámur omni hora? Cotídie mórior, útique per vestram gloriatiónem, fratres, quam hábeo in Christo Iesu Dómino nostro ! Si secúndum hóminem ad béstias pugnávi Ephesi, quid mihi prodest? Si mórtui non resúrgunt, manducémus et bibámus, cras enim moriémur. Nolíte sedúci: " Corrúmpunt mores bonos collóquia mala. " Evigiláte iuste et nolíte peccáre ! Ignorántiam enim Dei quidam habent; ad reveréntiam vobis loquor.
r. Parátum cor meum, Deus, parátum cor meum, * Cantábo et psalmum dicam Dómino. v. Exsúrge, glória mea; exsúrge psaltérium et cíthara; exsúrgam dilúculo. * Cantábo. v. Glória Patri. * Cantábo.

Ex Epístulis sancti Gregórii papæ séptimi (Ep. 21 ad Hugonem Cluniacensem abbatem : PL 148, 506-507)
Diversárum géntium concursióne et multórum negotiórum fatigátus meditatióne, ei parum scribo quem multum díligo. Vos autem certa fide, immo et oratióne, Dei omnipoténtis misericórdiam imploráte ut mentes nostras secúndum suam voluntátem dírigat, et in magna tempestáte nos gubérnans ad portum suæ pietátis perdúcat. Tot enim angústiis prémimur, tantísque labóribus fatigámur, ut ii qui nobíscum sunt non solum pati néqueant, sed nec étiam vidére possint.
Et licet cæléstis tuba clamet, unde quisque secúndum suum labórem mercédem recípiet, et bonus rex maniféstet : Secúndum multitúdinem dolórum meórum in corde meo, consolatiónes tuæ, Dómine, lætificavérunt ánimam meam; tamen frequénter hæc vita nobis est t dio et mors carnis desidério. Sed cum pauper Iesus ille pius consolátor, verus Deus et verus homo, manum pórrigit, valde tristem et afflíctum lætíficat; dum vero memet dimíttit, nimis me contúrbat : in me quippe semper mórior, sed in eo, intérdum vivo; et cum víribus omníno defício, ad illum gemens, clamo : " Si Móysi et Petro tantum pondus impóneres, credo quia illos graváret. Quid ergo de me, qui nihil ad eórum comparatiónem váleo, fiet? Restat ergo ut aut tu ipse cum tuo Petro pontificátum regas, aut me succúmbere, et eúmdem pontificátum confúndi cernas. "
Tunc ad illud recúrro : Miserére mei, Dómine, quia infírmus sum. Et illud : Tamquam prodígium factus sum multis; et tu adiútor fortis. Nec illud oblivíscor : Potens est enim Deus de lapídibus istis suscitáre fílios Abrahæ. Omnípotens Deus, qui per sanctum offícium quod commíttit peccatóri mira pietáte peccatóres iustíficat, potestáte beáti Petri mihi valde indígno commíssa te tibíque omnes fratres créditos a cunctis peccátis absólvat et ad sinum Abrahæ patriárchæ nostri lætos perdúcat.
r. Magnificávit eum Dóminus in conspéctu regum, * Et dedit illi corónam glóriæ, allelúia. v. Iustum dedúxit Dóminus per vias rectas et osténdit illi regnum Dei. * Et dedit. v. Glória Patri. * Et dedit.
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.
Dóminus vobíscum.
The Lord be with thee.
r. Et cum spíritu tuo.
r. And with thy spirit.
Benedícat vos omnípotens Deus, Pater, ✠ et Fílius, et Spíritus Sanctus.
May God Almighty bless thee, the Father, ✠ and the Son and the Holy Spirit.
r. Amen.
r. Amen.
Vel alia formula benedictionis, sicut in Missa.
Or another formula of blessing, as at Mass.
Et si fit dimissio, sequitur invitatio:
And if we make a referral, we add the invitation:
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.
