Capitulum Hymnus Versus

Heb 1:1-2

Multifáriam, multísque modis olim Deus loquens pátribus in prophétis: novíssime diébus istis locútus est nobis in Fílio, quem constítuit herédem universórum, per quem fecit et sǽcula.

In many places and in many ways, in past times, God spoke to the fathers through the Prophets; lastly, in these days, he has spoken to us through the Son, whom he appointed as the heir of all things, and through whom he made the world.

℟ Deo grátias.

℟ Thanks be to God.

A solis ortus cárdine
Ad usque terræ límitem,
Christum canámus Príncipem,
Natum María Vírgine.

Beátus auctor sǽculi
Servíle corpus índuit:
Ut carne carnem líberans,
Ne pérderet quos cóndidit.

Castæ Paréntis víscera
Cæléstis intrat grátia:
Venter Puéllæ báiulat
Secréta, quæ non nóverat.

Domus pudíci péctoris
Templum repénte fit Dei:
Intácta nésciens virum,
Concépit alvo Fílium.

Enítitur puérpera,
Quem Gábriel prædíxerat,
Quem ventre Matris géstiens,
Baptísta clausum sénserat.

Fœno iacére pértulit:
Præsépe non abhórruit:
Et lacte módico pastus est,
Per quem nec ales ésurit.

Gaudet chorus cæléstium,
Et Angeli canunt Deo;
Palámque fit pastóribus
Pastor, Creátor ómnium.

Iesu, tibi sit glória,
Qui natus es de Vírgine,
Cum Patre, et almo Spíritu,
In sempitérna sǽcula.
Amen.

From lands that see the sun arise
To earth's remotest boundaries,
The Virgin-born today we sing,
The Son of Mary, Christ the King.

Blest Author of this earthly frame,
To take a servant's form He came,
That, liberating flesh by flesh,
Whom He had made might live afresh.

In that chaste parent's holy womb
Celestial grace hath found its home;
And she, as earthly bride unknown,
Yet calls that Offspring blest her own.

The mansion of the modest breast
Becomes a shrine where God shall rest:
The pure and undefilèd one
Conceived in her womb the Son.

That Son, that Royal Son she bore,
Whom Gabriel's voice had told afore;
Whom, in His mother yet concealed,
The infant Baptist had revealed.

The manger and the straw He bore,
The cradle did He not abhor;
By milk in infant portions fed,
Who gives e'en fowls their daily bread.

The heavenly chorus filled the sky,
The Angels sang to God on high,
What time to shepherds, watching lone,
They made creation's Shepherd known.

All honor, laud, and glory be,
O Jesu, Virgin-born to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To Father and to Paraclete.
Amen.

1:74 that, freed from the hand of our foes, * we may serve him without fear,
1:75 in holiness and righteousness before him, * all the days of our life.
1:76 And you, little child, will be called the Prophet of the Most High: * for you will go before the Lord to make ready his ways,
1:77 to grant knowledge of salvation to his people, * by the forgiveness of their sins,
1:78 through the tender mercy of our God, * by which the Dawn from on high will visit us,
1:79 to shine on those who sit in darkness and in the shadow of death, * to guide our feet into the way of peace.
