131:5 and rest to my temples, until I find a place for the Lord, * a tabernacle for the God of Jacob.

131:11 The Lord has sworn the truth to David, and he will not disappoint: * I will set upon your throne from the fruit of your lineage.
131:12a If your sons will keep my covenant * and these, my testimonies, which I will teach to them,
131:12b then their sons * will sit upon your throne even forever.
131:13 For the Lord has chosen Zion. * He has chosen it as his dwelling place.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus
Rom 6:9-10
Christus resúrgens ex mórtuis jam non móritur, mors illi ultra non dominábitur. Quod enim mórtuus est peccáto, mórtuus est semel: quod autem vivit, vivit Deo.
℟ Deo grátias.
Hymnus
Ad régias Agni dapes,
Stolis amícti cándidis,
Post tránsitum Maris Rubri,
Christo canámus Príncipi:
Divína cujus cáritas
Sacrum propínat sánguinem,
Almíque membra córporis
Amor sacérdos ímmolat.
Sparsum cruórem póstibus
Vastátor horret Ángelus:
Fugítque divísum mare;
Mergúntur hostes flúctibus.
Jam Pascha nostrum Christus est
Paschális idem víctima,
Et pura puris méntibus
Sinceritátis ázyma.
O vera cæli víctima,
Subjécta cui sunt tártara,
Solúta mortis víncula,
Recépta vitæ prǽmia.
Victor, subáctis ínferis,
Trophǽa Christus éxplicat;
Cælóque apérto, súbditum
Regem tenebrárum trahit.
Ut sis perénne méntibus
Paschále, Jesu, gáudium,
A morte dira críminum
Vitæ renátos líbera.
Deo Patri sit glória,
Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis
Surréxit, ac Paráclito,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.
℣ Mane nobíscum, Dómine, allelúja.
℟ Quóniam advesperáscit, allelúja.
Rom 6:9-10
Christ, in rising up from the dead, can no longer die: death no longer has dominion over him. For in as much as he died for sin, he died once. But in as much as he lives, he lives for God.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Hymn
At the Lamb’s high feast we sing
Praise to our victorious King,
Who hath washed us in the tide
Flowing from his piercèd side.
Praise we him whose love divine
Gives the guests his blood for wine,
Gives his body for the feast,
Love the victim, love the priest.
Where the paschal blood is poured,
Death’s dark angel sheathes his sword;
Israel’s hosts triumphant go
Through the wave that drowns the foe.
Christ, the Lamb whose blood was shed,
Paschal victim, paschal bread;
With sincerity and love
Eat we manna from above.
Mighty victim from the sky,
Powers of hell beneath thee lie;
Death is conquered in the fight;
Thou hast brought us life and light.
Now thy banner thou dost wave;
Vanquished Satan and the grave;
Angels join his praise to tell —
See o’erthrown the prince of hell.
Paschal triumph, paschal joy,
Only sin can this destroy;
From the death of sin set free,
Souls re-born, dear Lord, in Thee.
Hymns of glory, songs of praise,
Father, unto thee we raise;
Risen Lord, all praise to thee,
Ever with the Spirit be.
Amen.
℣ Stay with us, O Lord, alleluia.
℟ For evening is drawing near, alleluia.
