Hymnus
Rector potens, verax Deus,
Qui témperas rerum vices,
Splendóre mane illúminas,
Et ígnibus merídiem:
Exstíngue flammas lítium,
Aufer calórem nóxium,
Confer salútem córporum,
Verámque pacem córdium.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
O God of truth, O Lord of might,
Who orderest time and change aright,
Who send’st the early morning ray,
And light’st the glow of perfect day:
Extinguish thou each sinful fire,
And banish every ill desire;
And while thou keep’st the body whole,
Shed forth thy peace upon the soul.
Almighty Father, hear our cry,
Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

73:1 O God, why have you rejected us to the end. * Why has your fury become enraged over the sheep of your pasture?
73:2 Be mindful of your congregation, * which you have possessed from the beginning.
73:2 You redeemed the scepter of your inheritance, * mount Zion, in which you have dwelt.
73:3 Lift up your hands against their arrogance in the end. * How great the malice of the enemy has been in the sanctuary!
73:4 And those who hate you have been glorified, * in the midst of your solemnity.
73:5 They have set up their own signs as a proof, * as if it had been issued from on high; yet they did not understand.

73:7 They have set fire to your Sanctuary. * They have polluted the tabernacle of your name on earth.
73:8 They have said in their heart, the whole group of them together: * “Let us cause all the feast days of God to cease from the land.

73:10 How long, O God, will the enemy place blame? * Is the adversary to provoke your name until the end?
