121:3 Ierúsalem, quæ ædificátur ut cívitas: * cuius participátio eius in idípsum.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Sir 44:16-17

Ecce sacérdos magnus, qui in diébus suis plácuit Deo, et invéntus est iustus: et in témpore iracúndiæ factus est reconciliátio.

Behold, the great priest, who in his days pleased God and was found just; and in the time of wrath he became a reconciliation.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Sédibus cæli nítidis recéptos
Dícite athlétas géminos, fidéles;
Slávicæ duplex columen decúsque
Dícite gentis.

Hos amor fratres sociávit unus,
Unaque abdúxit píetas erémo,
Ferre quo multis célerent beátæ
Pígnora vitæ.

Luce, quæ templis súperis renídet,
Búlgaros complent, Móravos, Bohémos;
Mox feras turmas numerósa Petro
Agmina ducunt.

Débitam cincti méritis corónam,
Pérgite o flecti lácrimis precántum;
Prisca vos Slavis opus est datóres
Dona túeri.

Quæque vos clamat generósa tellus
Servet ætérnæ fídei nitórem:
Quæ dedit princeps, dabit ipsa semper
Roma salútem.

Gentis humánæ Sator et Redémptor,
Qui bonus nobis bona cuncta præbes,
Sint tibi grates, tibi sit per omne
Glória sæclum.
Amen.

Sing, O ye faithful, sing two athlete brothers,
Welcomed above to thrones of light supernal;
Sing, of Slavonia's race, the glory twofold
And strength eternal.

One love these brethren bound in sweetest union,
By pity same their solitude is broken;
Forth they would hasten, unto many bearing
Life's blessed token.

Soon o'er Bulgaria, Moravia, Bohemia,
Light from the heavenly temple shineth glorious.
Once savage hordes, now countless flocks, to Peter
Lead they victorious.

Now with the well-earned crown your brow encircled,
Hear, blessèd ones, to suppliant tears bending;
Unto the Slavs, erst by your gifts enriched,
Protection lending.

Oh, may each gen'rous land, your aid imploring,
Keep bright the faith through every generation;
Rome to that land first gave, and ever guardeth,
Life and salvation.

Lord, of our race Creator and Redeemer,
By nature good, all goods on us bestowing,
Glory to thee through ages all, from grateful
Hearts overflowing.
Amen.

℣ Sacerdótes tui induántur iustítiam.

℣ May your priests be clothed with justice.

℟ Et Sancti tui exsúltent.

℟ And let your Saints rejoice.
