121:3 Ierúsalem, quæ ædificátur ut cívitas: * cuius participátio eius in idípsum.
121:4 Illuc enim ascendérunt tribus, tribus Dómini: * testimónium Israël ad confiténdum nómini Dómini.

Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Sap 3:1-3

Iustórum ánimæ in manu Dei sunt, et non tanget illos torméntum mortis. Visi sunt óculis insipiéntium mori: illi autem sunt in pace.

But the souls of the just are in the hand of God, and no torment of death will touch them. In the eyes of the foolish, they seemed to die, and their departure was considered an affliction, and their going away from us, a banishment. Yet they are in peace.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

Sanctórum méritis ínclita gáudia
Pangámus, sócii, géstaque fórtia:
Gliscens fert ánimus prómere cántibus
Victórum genus óptimum.

Hi sunt, quos fátue mundus abhórruit;
Hunc fructu vácuum, flóribus áridum
Contempsére tui nóminis ásseclæ
Iesu, Rex bone cǽlitum.

Hi pro te fúrias, atque minas truces
Calcárunt hóminum, sǽvaque vérbera:
His cessit lácerans fórtiter úngula,
Nec carpsit penetrália.

Cædúntur gládiis more bidéntium:
Non murmur résonat, non quærimónia;
Sed corde impávido mens bene cónscia
Consérvat patiéntiam.

Quæ vox, quæ póterit lingua retéxere,
Quæ tu Martýribus múnera prǽparas?
Rubri nam flúido sánguine fúlgidis
Cingunt témpora láureis.

Te, summa o Déitas, únaque póscimus;
Ut culpas ábigas, nóxia súbtrahas,
Des pacem fámulis; ut tibi glóriam,
Annórum in sériem, canant.
Amen.

Sing, O sons of the Church sounding the martyrs' praise!
God's true soldiers applaud, who, in their weary days,
Won bright trophies of good, glad be the voice ye raise,
While these heroes of Christ ye sing!

They, while yet in the world were by the world abhorred;
Felt how fading the joys, fleeting the wealth it stored;
Spurned all pleasure for thee, and at thy call, O Lord,
Came forth strong in thy name, as King.

Lord, how bravely they bore fury and pain for thee!
Scourge, rod, sword, and the rack strongly endured; but free
Sang out, bold in thy love, longing on high to be;
Earth's might never their souls could bend.

While they, shedding their blood, victims for Jesus fell,
No sound out of their lips came of their throes to tell;
Bowed low, patient and meek, loving the Lord so well,
Turned they still to the Christ, their friend.

What joys, bright with the blood shed for thy love they share,
Those brave martyrs of thine crowned with thy laurels rare;
Man's tongue never can tell, never can half declare,
How pure now is their bliss above!

Yet we, Father on high, God of eternal might,
Lift weak voices in prayer asking for peace and light;
Cleanse thou out of our hearts every stain and blight,
So our songs may be songs of love.
Amen.

℣ Exsultábunt Sancti in glória.

℣ The Saints shall exult in glory.

℟ Lætabúntur in cubílibus suis.

℟ They shall rejoice in their dwellings.

1:50 His mercy is from age to age * for those who fear him.
1:51 He has made known the strength of his arm, * and has scattered the proud in their conceit of heart.
1:52 He has cast down the mighty from their thrones * and has exalted those who are lowly.
1:53 He has filled the hungry with good things, * and has sent the rich away empty.
