Hymnus
Somno reféctis ártubus, spreto cubíli, súrgimus: nobis, Pater, canéntibus adésse te depóscimus.
Our limbs refreshed with slumber now, And sloth cast off, in prayer we bow; And while we sing Thy praises dear, O Father, be Thou present here.
Te lingua primum cóncinat, te mentis ardor ámbiat, ut áctuum sequéntium tu, sancte, sis exórdium.
To Thee our earliest morning song, To Thee our heart’s full powers belong; And Thou, O Holy One, prevent Each following action and intent.
Cedant tenébræ lúmini et nox diúrno síderi, ut culpa, quam nox íntulit, lucis labáscat múnere.
As shades at morning flee away, And night before the star of day; So each transgression of the night Be purged by Thee, celestial Light!
Precámur ídem súpplices noxas ut omnes ámputes, et ore te canéntium laudéris in perpétuum.
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.

Infíxae sunt gentes in fóvea, quam fecérunt; † in láqueo isto, quem abscondérunt, * comprehénsus est pes eórum.
I will rejoice in thy salvation: the Gentiles have stuck fast in the destruction which they prepared. Their foot hath been taken in the very snare which they hid.
Manifestávit se Dóminus iudícium fáciens; * in opéribus mánuum suárum comprehénsus est peccátor.
The Lord shall be known when he executeth judgments: the sinner hath been caught in the works of his own hands.

De libro Thobis 2, 1-5. 7-10a
Ego Thobi sub Asarháddon rege descéndi in domum meam, et réddita est mihi uxor mea Anna et fílius meus Thobías. In Pentecóste, die festo nostro, qui est sanctus a Septímanis, factum est mihi prándium bonum, et discúbui, ut pránderem. Et appósita est mihi mensa, et vidi pulmentária complúra. Et dixi Thobíæ fílio meo: "Vade et quemcúmque páuperem invéneris ex frátribus nostris, qui sunt captívi in Ninéve, qui in mente habet Dóminum in toto corde suo, hunc adduc, et manducábit páriter mecum; ecce sustíneo te, fili, donec vénias."
Abiit Thobías quærere áliquem páuperem ex frátribus nostris et revérsus dixit mihi: "Pater!" Et ego dixi illi: "Ecce ego, fili." Et respóndens ait: "Ecce unus ex natióne nostra occísus est et proiéctus est in foro et nunc íbidem láqueo suffocátus est." Et exsíliens relíqui prándium, ántequam ex illo gustárem, et sústuli eum de platéa in unam domum, donec sol cáderet, et illum sepelírem. Et revérsus lavi et manducávi panem meum cum luctu.
Et lacrimátus sum. Et, postquam sol óccidit, ábii et fódiens sepelívi illum. Et próximi mei deridébant me dicéntes: "Non timet adhuc hic homo; iam enim inquisítus est huius rei causa, ut occiderétur, et fugit et ecce íterum sépelit mórtuos." Et lavi ea nocte, postquam illum sepelívi, et introívi in átrium meum et obdormívi circa paríetem átrii, et fácies mea nuda erat propter æstum. Et ignorábam quóniam pásseres in paríete super me erant, quorum stércora insedérunt in óculos meos cálida et induxérunt albúgines. Et ibam ad médicos ut curárer, et, quanto inunxérunt me medicaméntis, tanto magis óculi mei excæcabántur máculis, donec perexcæcátus sum. Et eram inútilis meis óculis annis quáttuor, et omnes fratres mei dolébant pro me.
r. Peto, Dómine, ut de vínculo impropérii huius absólvas me, aut certe désuper terram erípias me; * Ne reminiscáris delícta mea vel paréntum meórum, neque vindíctam sumas de peccátis meis, quia éruis sustinéntes te, Dómine. v. Qui regis Israel, inténde, qui dedúcis velut ovem Ioseph. * Ne reminiscáris. v. Glória Patri. * Ne reminiscáris.
In secundo nocturno, anno II)
Ex Sermónibus sancti Máximi Taurinénsis epíscopi (Sermo 73: CCL 23, 305)
Satis abundéque dixísse me credo ad correptiónem eórum qui divínis munéribus perfruéntes grátias non réferunt creatóri, et uténtes benefíciis cæléstibus tamquam ingráti et indígni beneficiórum non remunerántur auctórem. Ingráti, inquam, qui Deum nec quasi servi métuunt ut dóminum, nec quasi fílii honoríficant ut patrem. Dicit per prophétam Deus: Si dóminus sum, ubi timor meus? Si pater, ubi amor meus? hoc est si servus es, redde dómino timóris obséquium, si fílius éxhibe patri pietátis afféctum! Tu autem cum grátias non agis, Deum nec díligis nec veréris; unde aut cóntumax servus aut supérbus es fílius.
Qui est ígitur útilis christiánus semper debet Patri ac Dómino suo laudes dícere et in eius glóriam ómnia procuráre, sicut ait beátus Apóstolus dicens: Sive manducábitis, sive bibétis, sive áliquid fácitis, ómnia in glóriam Dei. Vidéte quale viri christiáni Apóstolus vóluit esse convívium, ut magis fides Christi quam prándii sagína comedátur, et plus refíciat hóminem domínici nóminis frequens invocátio quam epulárum múltiplex et copiósa collátio, meliúsque pascat esuriéntem relígio quam sagína!
Omnia, inquit, in glóriam Dei. Omnes ergo actus nostros Christo vult sócio vel teste compléri, hac scílicet ratióne, ut bona ipso auctóre faciámus, mala propter ipsíus contubérnium declinémus. Erubéscit enim mala fácere qui scit Christum se habére partícipem. Christus autem in bonis adiútor noster est, in malis noster est conservátor.
r. Omni témpore bénedic Deum, et pete ab eo ut vias tuas dírigat, * Et omni témpore consília tua in ipso permáneant. v. Memor esto, fili, quóniam páuperem vitam gérimus; habébis multa bona, si timúeris Deum. * 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.
