Capitulum Hymnus Versus
Heb 9:11-12
Fratres: Christus assístens Póntifex futurórum bonórum, per ámplius et perféctius tabernáculum non manufáctum, id est, non hujus creatiónis: neque per sánguinem hircórum aut vitulórum, sed per próprium sánguinem introívit semel in Sancta, ætérna redemptióne invénta.
℟ Deo grátias.
Hymnus
Festívis résonent cómpita vócibus,
Cives lætítiam fróntibus éxplicent,
Tædis flammíferis órdine pródeant
Instrúcti púeri et senes.
Quem dura móriens Christus in árbore
Fudit multíplici vúlnere sánguinem,
Nos facti mémores dum cólimus, decet
Saltem fúndere lácrimas.
Humáno géneri pernícies gravis
Adámi véteris crímine cóntigit:
Adámi intégritas et píetas novi
Vitam réddidit ómnibus.
Clamórem válidum summus ab ǽthere
Languéntibus Géniti si Pater áudiit,
Placári pótius sánguine débuit,
Et nobis véniam dare.
Hoc quicúmque stolam sánguine próluit,
Abstérgit máculas; et róseum decus,
Quo fiat símilis prótinus Angelis
Et Regi pláceat, capit.
A recto instábilis trámite póstmodum
Se nullus rétrahat, meta sed última
Tangátur; tríbuet nóbile prǽmium,
Qui cursum Deus ádjuvat.
Nobis propítius sis, Génitor potens,
Ut, quos unígenæ sánguine Fílii
Emísti, et plácido Flámine récreas,
Cæli ad cúlmina tránsferas.
Amen.
℣ Redemísti nos, Dómine, in sánguine tuo.
℟ Et fecísti nos Deo nostro regnum.
Heb 9:11-12
Brethren: Christ, standing as the High Priest of future good things, through a greater and more perfect tabernacle, one not made by hand, that is, not of this creation, entered once into the Holy of Holies, having obtained eternal redemption, neither by the blood of goats, nor of calves, but by his own blood.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Hymn
With glad and joyous strains now let each street resound,
And let the laurel wreath each Christian brow entwine;
With torches waving bright, let old and young go forth,
And swell the train in solemn line.
Whilst we with bitter tears, with sighs and grief profound,
Wail o'er the saving blood, poured forth upon the tree,
Oh, deeply let us muse, and count the heavy price,
Which Christ hath paid to make us free.
The primal man of old, who fell by serpent's guile,
Brought death and many woes upon his fallen race;
But our new Adam, Christ, new life unto us gave,
And brought to all ne'er-ending grace.
To heaven's highest height, the wailing cry went up
Of him, who hung in pain, God's own eternal Son;
His saving, priceless blood, his Father's wrath appeased,
And for his sons full pardon won.
Whoe'er in that pure blood his guilty soul shall wash,
Shall from his stains be freed—be made as roses bright—
Shall vie with angels pure, shall please his King and Lord,
And precious shine in his glad sight.
Oh, from the path of right ne'er let thy steps depart,
But haste thee to the goal in virtue's peaceful ways;
thy God who reigns on high will e'er direct thy steps,
And crown thy deeds with blissful days.
Father of all things made, to us propitious be,
For whom thy own dear Son, his saving blood did spill;
O Holy Spirit, grant the souls by thee refreshed
Eternal bliss may ever fill.
Amen.
℣ You have redeemed us, O Lord, by your blood.
℟ And you have made us into a kingdom for our God.
