Matins.3S

Wake, thou that sleepest! Rise and keep thy vigil,
Chanting the holy
psalmody of David;
Hymning sweet praises to the Lord eternal
In a glad chorus.So may our Monarch pitifully hear us,
That we may merit with his
Saints to enter
Mansions eternal, therewithal possessing
Joy beatific. Doxology
This, he vouchsafe us, God for ever blessed,
Father eternal, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Whose is the glory which
through all creation
Ever resoundeth. Amen

Nocte surgéntes vigilémus
omnes,
Semper in psalmis meditémur, atque
Voce concórdi Dómino canámus
Dúlciter
hymnos. Ut pio Regi páriter canéntes,
Cum suis Sanctis mereámur aulam
Ingredi cæli, simul et perénnem
Dúcere vitam. Doxology Præstet hoc nobis Déitas beáta
Patris, ac Nati, paritérque Sancti
Spíritus,
cujus résonat per omnem
Glória mundum. Amen.

The first day of the week saw earth
From utter darkness first have birth;
This day its Maker rose again,
And vanquished death, and burst our chain. Be gone with slumbering, slothful ease!
Raise we our hearts and bend our knees!
Heed we the Psalms' prophetic call
To seek betimes the Lord of all. And so we plead for what we crave:
That God stretched forth his hand to save,
And, purging out
each sinful stain,
Restore us to our home again. Assembled for
a holy day,
This holy Hour we raise the lay;
And O that he to whom we sing
May now reward our offering! O Father of unclouded light,
We pray thee, kneeling in thy sight,
From all defilement to be freed,
And
every sinful act and deed. We pray that this our mortal frame
May know no sin, and fear
no shame,
Whereby the fires of hell may rise
To torture us in fiercer wise. We therefore,
Saviour, cry to thee
To wash out our iniquity,
And give us of thy boundless grace
The blessings of the heavenly
place. Ordinary Doxology
O Father, that we ask be done
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son,
Who, with the Holy Ghost
and thee,
Shall live and reign eternally. Amen.

Primo die, quo Trínitas
Beáta mundum cóndidit,
Vel quo resúrgens Cónditor
Nos, morte victa, líberat: Pulsis procul torpóribus,
Surgámus omnes ócius,
Et nocte
quærámus Deum,
Prophéta sicut præcipit: Nostras preces ut áudiat
Suámque dextram pórrigat,
Et expiátos sórdibus
Reddat polórum sédibus: Ut, quique sacratíssimo
Hujus diéi témpore
Horis quiétis psállimus,
Donis beátis múneret. Jam nunc, patérna cláritas,
Te postulámus áffatim:
Absint faces libídinis,
Et omnis actus nóxius. Ne fœda sit, vel lúbrica
Compágo nostri
córporis,
Ob cujus ignes ígnibus
Avérnus urat ácrius. Mundi Redémptor,
quæsumus,
Tu probra nostra díluas;
Nobísque largus cómmoda
Vitæ perénnis
cónferas. Ordinary Doxology Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Unice,
Cum Spíritu
Paráclito
Regnans per omne sæculum. Amen.

Lauds.6 Prime.7

Now doth
the sun ascend the sky,
And wake creation with its ray,
Keep us from sin, O Lord most high,
Through all
the actions of the day. Curb thou for us the unruly tongue;
Teach us the way of
peace to prize;
And close our eyes against the throng
Of earth's absorbing vanities. Oh, may our hearts be pure within,
No cherished madness vex the soul;
May abstinence the flesh restrain,
And its rebellious pride control. So when the evening stars appear,
And in their train the darkness bring;
May we, O Lord, with conscience clear,
Our praise to thy pure glory
sing. Ordinary Ending:
To God the Father, glory be,
And to his sole-begotten Son,
Glory, O
Holy Ghost, to thee,
While everlasting ages run. Amen

Jam lucis
orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet
a nocéntibus. Linguam refrénans témperet,

Ne vanitátes háuriat. Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia :
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas. Ut cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam. * Deo Patri sit glória,
Ejúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu
Paráclito,
Nunc, et per omne sæculum. Amen

Shed forth thy peace upon the soul. Ordinary Ending:

Lest ought of sin our bodies stain..

Te lucis
ante términum,
Rerum Creátor, póscimus,

Hostémque nostrum cómprime,
Ne polluántur córpora. * Præsta, Pater piíssime,
