Hymnus
Ipsum nunc nobis tempus est quo voce evangélica ventúrus sponsus créditur, regni cæléstis cónditor.
Occúrrunt sanctæ vírgines óbviam tunc advéntui, gestántes claras lámpadas, magno lætántes gáudio.
Stultæ vero quæ rémanent exstínctas habent lámpadas, frustra pulsántes iánuam, clausa iam regni régia.
Nunc vigilémus sóbrii gestántes mentes spléndidas, ut veniénti Dómino digni currámus óbviam.
Dignos nos fac, rex óptime, futúri regni glória,. ut mereámur láudibus ætérnis te concínere. Amen.

Miserére mei, Dómine, quóniam tríbulor; conturbátus est in mæróre óculus meus, * ánima mea et venter meus.
Have mercy on me, Lord, for I am very afflicted; my eye, my soul, and my bowels are troubled with anger.

More than all my enemies, I have become an object of reproach, especially to my neighbors, and the terror of those who know me.
Oblivióni a corde datus sum tamquam mórtuus; * factus sum tamquam vas pérditum.
Those who saw me outside fled from me. I have been forgotten by hearts, like a dead man.

Muta fiant lábia dolósa, † quæ loquúntur advérsus iústum protérva * in supérbia et in abusióne.]
they who pronounce iniquity against the righteous, with pride and insolence.]

Quam magna multitúdo dulcédinis tuæ, Dómine, * quam abscondísti timéntibus te.
How great, O Lord, is the abundance of Thy meekness, which Thou hast set up for those who fear Thou!
Perfecísti eis, qui sperant in te, * in conspéctu filiórum hóminum.
Thou exercise it against those who hope in Thou, in the sight of the children of men.
Abscóndes eos in abscóndito faciéi tuæ * a conturbatióne hóminum;

Incipit liber Amos prophétæ
Verba Amos, qui fuit in pastóribus de Thécua; quæ vidit super Israel in diébus Ozíæ regis Iudæ et in diébus Ieróboam fílii Ioas regis Israel, duóbus annis ante terræmótum. Et dixit:
"Dóminus de Sion rugit et de Ierúsalem dat vocem suam; et lugent páscua pastórum et exsiccátur vertex Carméli." Hæc dicit Dóminus: "Super tribus sceléribus Damásci et super quáttuor verbum non revocábo: eo quod trituráverint in plaustris férreis Gálaad, mittam ignem in domum Házæl, et devorábit ædes Bénadad; cónteram vectem Damásci et dispérdam habitatórem de Biceátaven et tenéntem sceptrum de Bétheden; et transferétur pópulus Sýriæ Cir", dicit Dóminus.
Hæc dicit Dóminus: "Super tribus sceléribus Gazæ et super quáttuor verbum non revocábo: eo quod transtúlerint captivitátem perféctam, ut tráderent eam in Edom, mittam ignem in murum Gazæ, et devorábit ædes eius; dispérdam habitatórem de Azóto et tenéntem sceptrum de Ascalóne; convértam manum meam super Accaron, et períbunt réliqui Philisthinórum", dicit Dóminus Deus. Hæc dicit Dóminus: "Super tribus sceléribus Tyri et super quáttuor verbum non revocábo: eo quod tradíderint captivitátem perféctam in Edom et non sint recordáti fœderis fratrum, mittam ignem in murum Tyri, et devorábit ædes eius."
Hæc dicit Dóminus: "Super tribus sceléribus Edom et super quáttuor verbum non revocábo: eo quod persecútus sit in gládio fratrem suum et violáverit misericórdiam eius et tenúerit ultra furórem suum et indignatiónem suam serváverit usque in finem, mittam ignem in Theman, et devorábit ædes Bosræ." Hæc dicit Dóminus: "Super tribus sceléribus filiórum Ammon et super quáttuor verbum non revocábo: eo quod dissecúerint prægnántes Gálaad ad dilatándum términum suum, succéndam ignem in muro Rabba, et devorábit ædes eius in ululátu in die belli et in túrbine in die procéllæ; et ibit rex eórum in captivitátem, ipse et príncipes eius simul", dicit Dóminus. Hæc dicit Dóminus: "Super tribus sceléribus Moab et super quáttuor verbum non revocábo: eo quod incénderit ossa regis Edom usque ad cínerem, mittam ignem in Moab, et devorábit ædes Caríoth, et moriétur in tumúltu Moab, in clamóre et voce tubæ; dispérdam iúdicem de médio eius et omnes príncipes eius interfíciam cum eo", dicit Dóminus.
In secundo nocturno, anno I
Ex Enarratiónibus sancti Augustíni epícopi in psalmos (En. in ps. 37, 14: CCL 38, 391-392)
Ante te est omne desidérium meum. Non enim ante hómines, qui cor vidére non possunt, sed ante te est omne desidérium meum. Sit desidérium tuum ante illum; et Pater qui videt in occúlto reddet tibi. Ipsum enim desidérium tuum, orátio tua est; et si contínuum desidérium, contínua orátio. Non enim frustra dixit Apóstolus: Sine intermissióne orántes. Numquid sine intermissióne genu fléctimus, corpus prostérnimus, aut manus levámus, ut dicat: Sine intermissióne oráte? Aut si sic dícimus nos oráre, hoc puto sine intermissióne non póssumus fácere.
Est ália intérior sine intermissióne orátio, quæ est desidérium. Quidquid áliud agas, si desíderas illud sábbatum, non intermíttis oráre. Si non vis intermíttere oráre, noli intermíttere desideráre. Contínuum desidérium tuum, contínua vox tua est. Tacébis, si amáre destíteris. Qui tacuérunt? De quibus dictum est: Quóniam abundávit iníquitas, refrigéscet cáritas multórum. Frigus caritátis, siléntium cordis est; flagrántia caritátis, clamor cordis est. Si semper manet cáritas, semper clamas; si semper clamas, semper desíderas; si desíderas, réquiem recordáris.
Iam quale desidérium débeat esse ante óculos Dei, consídera. Numquid ut moriátur inimícus noster, quod quasi iuste optant hómines? Nam aliquándo orámus quod non debémus. Illi qui orant ut moriántur inimíci, áudiant Dóminum dicéntem: Oráte pro inimícis vestris. Non ergo hoc orent ut moriántur inimíci, sed hoc orent ut corrigántur; et mórtui erunt inimíci; iam enim corrécti, non erunt inimíci.
r. A fácie furóris tui, Deus, conturbáta est omnis terra; sed tu, Dómine, miserére, * Et ne fácias consummatiónem. v. Convérte nos, Deus salutáris noster, et avérte iram tuam a nobis. * Et. v. Glória Patri. * Et.
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.
