Hymn
Let the world exult with joy;
let heaven resound with praises;
the earth and stars sing together
the glory of the Apostles.
You, judges of the ages
and true lights of the world:
we pray with the vows of our hearts,
hear the voices of suppliants.
You who shut the gates of heaven
and open locks with a word,
bid us, who are guilty of offense,
to be loosed, we pray.
Sickness and health
at once obey your commands:
heal our ailing minds;
grant us increase in virtues.
That when Christ the Judge
returns at the end of the age,
he may grant us to be partakers
of everlasting joy.
To the Father, and likewise to the Son,
and to you, Holy Spirit,
as it was, so let it ever be
through all the ages, glory.
Amen.
℣ They have proclaimed the works of God.
℟ And have understood his deeds.
