Act. 6:8
Stéphanus autem plenus grátia et fortitúdine, faciébat prodígia et signa magna in pópulo.
Then Stephen, filled with grace and fortitude, wrought great signs and miracles among the people.
℟ Deo grátias.
℟ Thanks be to God.
Imménse cæli Cónditor,
Qui mixta ne confúnderent,
Aquæ fluénta dívidens,
Cælum dedísti límitem.
Firmans locum cæléstibus,
Simúlque terræ rívulis;
Ut unda flammas témperet,
Terræ solum ne díssipent.
Infúnde nunc, piíssime,
Donum perénnis grátiæ:
Fraudis novæ ne cásibus
Nos error átterat vetus.
Lucem fides adáugeat:
Sic lúminis iubar ferat:
Hæc vana cuncta próterat:
Hanc falsa nulla cómprimant.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
O great Creator of the sky,
Who wouldest not the floods on high
With earthly waters to confound,
But mad’st the firmament their bound;
The floods above thou didst ordain;
The floods below thou didst restrain:
That moisture might attemper heat,
Lest the parched earth should ruin meet.
Upon our souls, good Lord, bestow
Thy gift of grace in endless flow:
Lest some renewed deceit or wile
Of former sin should us beguile.
Let faith discover heav’nly light;
So shall its rays direct us right:
And let this faith each error chase,
And never give to falsehood place.
Grant this, O Father, ever One
With Christ, thy sole-begotten Son,
And Holy Ghost, whom all adore,
Reigning and blest forevermore.
Amen.
