[ 3 ]
ℂ From the First Sunday after Trinity to Advent, as well on Sundays as on Weekdays, whenever it is the ordinary office for the Sunday or Weekday, at Matins.
Noſte ſurgentes vigilemus omnes.
LET us ariſe from night and ſlumber waking,
In pſalmody our hearts and voices raiſe;
To God with all our powers ſweet muſic
In hymns of praise. [making
So in full concert with Thy Saints to tell
Thy mercies, Lord! ſo worthy may we be
To enter Heaven's bright courts, in bliſs to dwell
For e'er with Thee.
The Bleſſed Trinity perform our prayer,
Father, and Son, and Holy Ghoſt Moſt High;
Whoſe Glory all creation doth declare
Eternally. Amen.
ℂ Sunday at Matins throughout the year, except when otherwiſe directed.—(From the Paris Breviary.)
Die dierum principe.
O DAY of Earthly days the chief!
O Light in darkneſs! Joy in grief!
Behold from His ſepulchral priſon
Chriſt, very Light of lights, hath riſen!
