Commemoratio ad Laudes tantum: S. Apolloniæ Virginis et Martyris
1. Now in the sun's new dawning ray, Lowly of heart, our God we pray That he from harm may keep us free In all the deeds this day shall see. 2. May fear of him our tongues restrain, Lest strife unguarded speech should stain: His favouring care our guardian be, Lest our eyes feed on vanity. 3. May every heart be pure from sin And folly find no place therein: Scant need of food, excess denied, Wear down in us the body's pride. 4. That when the light of day is gone, And night in course shall follow on. We, free from cares the world affords, May chant the praise that is our Lord's. 5. All laud to God the Father be, All praise, Eternal Son, to thee: All glory, as is ever meet, To God the holy Paraclete. Amen.
The innocent in hands * and clean of heart shall ascend the mountain of the Lord.
The earth is the Lord’s and the fulness thereof: * the world, and all they that dwell therein.
For he hath founded it upon the seas; * and hath prepared it upon the rivers.
Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: * or who shall stand in his holy place?
The innocent in hands, and clean of heart, * who hath not taken his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbour.
He shall receive a blessing from the Lord, * and mercy from God his Saviour.
This is the generation of them that seek him, * of them that seek the face of the God of Jacob.
Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: * and the King of Glory shall enter in.
Who is this King of Glory? * the Lord who is strong and mighty: the Lord mighty in battle.
Lift up your gates, O ye princes, and be ye lifted up, O eternal gates: * and the King of Glory shall enter in.
Who is this King of Glory? * the Lord of hosts, he is the King of Glory.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The heavens shew forth the glory of God, * and the firmament declareth the work of his hands.
Day to day uttereth speech, * and night to night sheweth knowledge.
There are no speeches nor languages, * where their voices are not heard.
Their sound hath gone forth into all the earth: * and their words unto the ends of the world.
He hath set his tabernacle in the sun: * and he, as a bridegroom coming out of his bride chamber,
Hath rejoiced as a giant to run the way: * his going out is from the end of heaven,
And his circuit even to the end thereof: * and there is no one that can hide himself from his heat.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The law of the Lord is unspotted, converting souls: * the testimony of the Lord is faithful, giving wisdom to little ones.
The justices of the Lord are right, rejoicing hearts: * the commandment of the Lord is lightsome, enlightening the eyes.
The fear of the Lord is holy, enduring for ever and ever: * the judgments of the Lord are true, justified in themselves.
More to be desired than gold and many precious stones: * and sweeter than honey and the honeycomb.
For thy servant keepeth them, * and in keeping them there is a great reward.
Who can understand sins? from my secret ones cleanse me, O Lord: * and from those of others spare thy servant.
If they shall have no dominion over me, then shall I be without spot: * and I shall be cleansed from the greatest sin.
And the words of my mouth shall be such as may please: * and the meditation of my heart always in thy sight.
O Lord, my helper, * and my redeemer.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The innocent in hands * and clean of heart shall ascend the mountain of the Lord.
Regi sæculórum immortáli et invisíbili, † soli Deo honor et glória in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Now to the king of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Orémus.
Dómine Deus omnípotens, qui ad princípium huius diéi nos perveníre fecísti: † tua nos hódie salva virtúte; * ut in hac die ad nullum declinémus peccátum, sed semper ad tuam iustítiam faciéndam nostra procédant elóquia, dirigántur cogitatiónes et ópera.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, * per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
O Lord, our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who has safely brought us to the beginning of this day: defend us by thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always what is righteous in thy sight.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
Item Romæ, via Appia, sanctæ Sotéris, Vírginis et Mártyris; quæ (ut scribit sanctus Ambrósius), nóbili génere nata, paréntum Consulátus et Præfectúras ob Christum contémpsit. Hæc, iussa idólis immoláre, et non acquiéscens, gráviter et diutíssime álapis cæsa est; et, cum cétera quoque pœnárum génera vicísset, demum, percússa gládio, læta migrávit ad Sponsum.
In Campánia sancti Silváni, Epíscopi et Confessóris.« Pater Noster » dicitur secreto usque ad « Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem: »
Pater noster, qui es in cælis, sanctificétur nomen tuum: advéniat regnum tuum: fiat volúntas tua, sicut in cælo et in terra. Panem nostrum cotidiánum da nobis hódie: et dimítte nobis débita nostra, sicut et nos dimíttimus debitóribus nostris:
Orémus.
Dirígere et sanctificáre, régere et gubernáre dignáre, Dómine Deus, Rex cæli et terræ, hódie corda et córpora nostra, sensus, sermónes et actus nostros in lege tua, et in opéribus mandatórum tuórum: † ut hic et in ætérnum, te auxiliánte, salvi et líberi esse mereámur, Salvátor mundi: Qui vivis et regnas in sǽcula sæculórum.
O Lord, Almighty God, King of heaven and earth, Saviour of the world, bless, lead, rule and govern our hearts and bodies, our senses, words and deeds today, following thy law and commandments, that here and for eternity with thy help we shall be saved in freedom. Who livest and reignest, world without end.
Dies et actus nostros in sua pace dispónat Dóminus omnípotens.
Dóminus autem dírigat corda et córpora nostra in caritáte Dei et patiéntia Christi.
