Capitulum Hymnus Versus
Apo 21:2
Vidi civitátem sanctam, Jerúsalem novam, descendéntem de cælo a Deo, parátam sicut sponsam ornátam viro suo.
℟ Deo grátias.
Hymnus
Cæléstis urbs Jerúsalem,
Beáta pacis vísio,
Quæ celsa de vivéntibus
Saxis ad astra tólleris,
Sponsǽque ritu cíngeris
Mille Angelórum míllibus.
O sorte nupta próspera,
Dotáta Patris glória,
Respérsa Sponsi grátia,
Regína formosíssima,
Christo jugáta Príncipi,
Cæli corúsca cívitas.
Hic margarítis émicant,
Paténtque cunctis óstia;
Virtúte namque prǽvia
Mortális illuc dúcitur,
Amóre Christi pércitus
Torménta quisquis sústinet.
Scalpri salúbris íctibus
Et tunsióne plúrima,
Fabri políta málleo
Hanc saxa molem cónstruunt,
Aptísque juncta néxibus
Locántur in fastígio.
Decus Parénti débitum
Sit usquequáque Altíssimo,
Natóque Patris único,

℟ In longitúdinem diérum.
Apo 21:2
I saw the Holy City, the New Jerusalem, descending out of heaven from God, prepared like a bride adorned for her husband.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Hymn
Thou heavenly, new Jerusalem,
Vision of peace in prophet's dream!
With living stones built up on high,
And rising to yon starry sky;
In bridal pomp thy form is crowned,
With thousand thousand angels round!
O bride, betrothed in happy hour,
The Father's glory is thy dower;
The bridegroom's grace is shed on thee
Thou queen all fair eternally;
To Christ allied, thy Prince adored,
Bright shining city of the Lord!
Behold with pearls they glittering stand
thy peaceful gates to all expand;
By grace and strength divinely shed
Each mortal thither may be led;
Who, kindled by Christ's love, will dare
All earthly sufferings now to bear.
By many a salutary stroke,
By many a weary blow that broke,
Or polished with a workman's skill,
The stones that form that glorious pile,
They all are fitly framed to lie
In their appointed place on high.
Fair and well pleasing in thy sight,
Parent most high, enthroned in light,
And for thine only Son most meet,
And thee, all-glorious Paraclete,
To whom praise, power, and glory rise
Forever through the eternal skies.
Amen.
℣ Holiness befits your house, O Lord.
℟ For the length of days.
