Incipit
Hymnus
1. Now Christ, ascending whence he came, Had mounted o'er the starry frame, The Holy Ghost on man below, The Father's promise, to bestow. 2. The solemn time was drawing nigh, Replete with heav'nly mystery, On seven days' sevenfold circles borne, That first and blessèd Whitsun-morn. 3. When the third hour shone all around, There came a rushing mighty sound, And told the Apostles, while in prayer, That, as was promised, God was there. 4. Forth from the Father's light it came, That beautiful and kindly flame: To fill with fervour of his word The spirits faithful to their Lord. 5. With joy the Apostles' breasts are fired, By God the Holy Ghost inspired: And straight, in diverse kinds of speech, The wondrous works of God they preach. 6. To men of every race they speak, Alike barbarian, Roman, Greek: From the same lips, with awe and fear, All men their native accents hear. 7. But Juda's sons, e'en faithless yet, With mad infuriate rage beset, To mock Christ's followers combine, As drunken all with new-made wine. 8. When lo! with signs and mighty deeds, Stands Peter in the midst, and pleads; Confounding their malignant lie By Joel's ancient prophecy. 9. To God the Father let us sing, To God the Son, our risen King, And equally let us adore The Spirit, God forevermore. Amen.
Nocturnus I
Psalmus 47
Suddenly there came a sound from heaven * as of a rushing mighty wind, alleluia, alleluia.
Great is the Lord, and exceedingly to be praised * in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.
- Fundátur exsultatióne univérsæ terræ mons Sion, * látera Aquilónis, cívitas Regis magni.
- Deus in dómibus ejus cognoscétur: * cum suscípiet eam.
- Quóniam ecce reges terræ congregáti sunt: * convenérunt in unum.
- Ipsi vidéntes sic admiráti sunt, † conturbáti sunt, commóti sunt: * tremor apprehéndit eos.
- Ibi dolóres ut parturiéntis: * in spíritu veheménti cónteres naves Tharsis.
- Sicut audívimus, sic vídimus in civitáte Dómini virtútum, † in civitáte Dei nostri: * Deus fundávit eam in ætérnum.
- Suscépimus, Deus, misericórdiam tuam, * in médio templi tui.
- Secúndum nomen tuum, Deus, † sic et laus tua in fines terræ: * justítia plena est déxtera tua.
- Lætétur mons Sion, et exsúltent fíliæ Judæ: * propter judícia tua, Dómine.
- Circúmdate Sion, et complectímini eam: * narráte in túrribus ejus.
- Pónite corda vestra in virtúte ejus: * et distribúite domos ejus, ut enarrétis in progénie áltera.
- Quóniam hic est Deus, Deus noster in ætérnum et in sǽculum sǽculi: * ipse reget nos in sǽcula.
- Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
- Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
With the joy of the whole earth is mount Sion founded, * on the sides of the north, the city of the great king.
In her houses shall God be known, * when he shall protect her.
For behold the kings of the earth assembled themselves: * they gathered together.
So they saw, and they wondered, they were troubled, they were moved: * trembling took hold of them.
There were pains as of a woman in labour; * with a vehement wind thou shalt break in pieces the ships of Tharsis.
As we have heard, so have we seen, in the city of the Lord of hosts, in the city of our God: * God hath founded it for ever.
We have received thy mercy, O God, * in the midst of thy temple.
According to thy name, O God, so also is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: * thy right hand is full of justice.
Let mount Sion rejoice, and the daughters of Juda be glad; * because of thy judgments, O Lord.
Surround Sion, and encompass her: * tell ye in her towers.
Set your hearts on her strength; and distribute her houses, * that ye may relate it in another generation.
For this is God, our God unto eternity, and for ever and ever: * he shall rule us for evermore.
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.
Suddenly there came a sound from heaven * as of a rushing mighty wind, alleluia, alleluia.
Psalmus 67
Strengthen, O God, that which Thou hast wrought for us, * because of thy holy Temple at Jerusalem, alleluia, alleluia.
Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: * and let them that hate him flee from before his face.
- Sicut déficit fumus, defíciant: * sicut fluit cera a fácie ignis, sic péreant peccatóres a fácie Dei.
- Et justi epuléntur, et exsúltent in conspéctu Dei: * et delecténtur in lætítia.
- Cantáte Deo, psalmum dícite nómini ejus: * iter fácite ei, qui ascéndit super occásum: Dóminus nomen illi.
- Exsultáte in conspéctu ejus: * turbabúntur a fácie ejus, patris orphanórum et júdicis viduárum.
- Deus in loco sancto suo: * Deus, qui inhabitáre facit uníus moris in domo:
- Qui edúcit vinctos in fortitúdine, * simíliter eos qui exásperant, qui hábitant in sepúlcris.
- Deus, cum egrederéris in conspéctu pópuli tui, * cum pertransíres in desérto:
- Terra mota est, étenim cæli distillavérunt a fácie Dei Sínai, * a fácie Dei Israël.
- Plúviam voluntáriam segregábis, Deus, hereditáti tuæ: * et infirmáta est, tu vero perfecísti eam.
- Animália tua habitábunt in ea: * parásti in dulcédine tua páuperi, Deus.
- Dóminus dabit verbum evangelizántibus, * virtúte multa.
- Rex virtútum dilécti dilécti: * et speciéi domus divídere spólia.
- Si dormiátis inter médios cleros, pennæ colúmbæ deargentátæ, * et posterióra dorsi ejus in pallóre auri.
- Dum discérnit cæléstis reges super eam, nive dealbabúntur in Selmon: * mons Dei, mons pinguis.
- Mons coagulátus, mons pinguis: * ut quid suspicámini montes coagulátos?
- Mons, in quo beneplácitum est Deo habitáre in eo: * étenim Dóminus habitábit in finem.
- Currus Dei decem míllibus múltiplex, míllia lætántium: * Dóminus in eis in Sina in sancto.
- Ascendísti in altum, cepísti captivitátem: * accepísti dona in homínibus.
- Etenim non credéntes, * inhabitáre Dóminum Deum.
- Benedíctus Dóminus die quotídie: * prósperum iter fáciet nobis Deus salutárium nostrórum.
- Deus noster, Deus salvos faciéndi: * et Dómini Dómini éxitus mortis.
- Verúmtamen Deus confrínget cápita inimicórum suórum: * vérticem capílli perambulántium in delíctis suis.
- Dixit Dóminus: Ex Basan convértam, * convértam in profúndum maris:
- Ut intingátur pes tuus in sánguine: * lingua canum tuórum ex inimícis, ab ipso.
- Vidérunt ingréssus tuos, Deus: * ingréssus Dei mei: regis mei qui est in sancto.
- Prævenérunt príncipes conjúncti psalléntibus: * in médio juvenculárum tympanistriárum.
- In ecclésiis benedícite Deo Dómino, * de fóntibus Israël.
- Ibi Bénjamin adolescéntulus: * in mentis excéssu.
- Príncipes Juda, duces eórum: * príncipes Zábulon, príncipes Néphtali.
- Manda, Deus, virtúti tuæ: * confírma hoc, Deus, quod operátus es in nobis.
- A templo tuo in Jerúsalem, * tibi ófferent reges múnera.
- Increpa feras arúndinis, congregátio taurórum in vaccis populórum: * ut exclúdant eos, qui probáti sunt argénto.
- Díssipa Gentes, quæ bella volunt: vénient legáti ex Ægýpto: * Æthiópia prævéniet manus ejus Deo.
- Regna terræ, cantáte Deo: * psállite Dómino.
- Psállite Deo, qui ascéndit super cælum cæli, * ad Oriéntem.
- Ecce dabit voci suæ vocem virtútis, date glóriam Deo super Israël, * magnificéntia ejus, et virtus ejus in núbibus.
- Mirábilis Deus in sanctis suis, Deus Israël ipse dabit virtútem, et fortitúdinem plebi suæ, * benedíctus Deus.
- Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
- Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: * as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: * and be delighted with gladness.
Sing ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, * make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: (bow head) the Lord is his name.
Rejoice ye before him: * but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence, who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows.
God in his holy place: * God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house:
Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; * in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, * when thou didst pass through the desert:
The earth was moved, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sinai, * at the presence of the God of Israel.
Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, * O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.
In it shall thy animals dwell; * in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.
The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings, * with great power.
The king of powers is of the beloved, * of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, * and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, * they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
The mountain of God is a fat mountain, a curdled mountain, a fat mountain; * Why suspect, ye curdled mountains?
A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: * for there the Lord shall dwell unto the end.
The chariot of God is attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: * the Lord is among them in Sinai, in the holy place.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; * thou hast received gifts in men.
Yea for those also that do not believe, * the dwelling of the Lord God.
Blessed be the Lord day by day: * the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to us.
Our God is the God of salvation: * and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from death.
But God shall break the heads of his enemies: * the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
The Lord said: I will turn them from Basan, * I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; * the tongue of thy dogs be red with the same.
They have seen thy goings, O God, * the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
Princes went before joined with singers, * in the midst of young damsels playing on timbrels.
In the churches bless ye God the Lord, * from the fountains of Israel.
There is Benjamin a youth, * in ecstasy of mind.
The princes of Juda are their leaders: * the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
Command thy strength, O God: * confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
From thy temple in Jerusalem, * kings shall offer presents to thee.
Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; * who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver.
Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars: ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: * Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: * sing ye to the Lord:
Sing ye to God, who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, * to the east.
Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power: * give ye glory to God for Israel, * his magnificence, and his power is in the clouds.
God is wonderful in his saints: the God of Israel is he who will give power and strength to his people; * blessed be God.
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.
Strengthen, O God, that which Thou hast wrought for us, * because of thy holy Temple at Jerusalem, alleluia, alleluia.
Psalmus 103
Send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created * and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth, alleluia, alleluia.
Bless the Lord, O my soul: * O Lord my God, thou art exceedingly great.
- Confessiónem, et decórem induísti: * amíctus lúmine sicut vestiménto.
- Exténdens cælum sicut pellem: * qui tegis aquis superióra ejus.
- Qui ponis nubem ascénsum tuum: * qui ámbulas super pennas ventórum.
- Qui facis ángelos tuos, spíritus: * et minístros tuos ignem uréntem.
- Qui fundásti terram super stabilitátem suam: * non inclinábitur in sǽculum sǽculi.

- Ab increpatióne tua fúgient: * a voce tonítrui tui formidábunt.
- Ascéndunt montes: et descéndunt campi * in locum, quem fundásti eis.
- Términum posuísti, quem non transgrediéntur: * neque converténtur operíre terram.
- Qui emíttis fontes in convállibus: * inter médium móntium pertransíbunt aquæ.
- Potábunt omnes béstiæ agri: * exspectábunt ónagri in siti sua.
- Super ea vólucres cæli habitábunt: * de médio petrárum dabunt voces.
- Rigans montes de superióribus suis: * de fructu óperum tuórum satiábitur terra:
- Prodúcens fœnum juméntis: * et herbam servitúti hóminum:
- Ut edúcas panem de terra: * et vinum lætíficet cor hóminis:
- Ut exhílaret fáciem in óleo: * et panis cor hóminis confírmet.
- Saturabúntur ligna campi, et cedri Líbani, quas plantávit: * illic pásseres nidificábunt.
- Heródii domus dux est eórum: * montes excélsi cervis: petra refúgium herináciis.
- Fecit lunam in témpora: * sol cognóvit occásum suum.
- Posuísti ténebras, et facta est nox: * in ipsa pertransíbunt omnes béstiæ silvæ.
- Cátuli leónum rugiéntes, ut rápiant: * et quærant a Deo escam sibi.
- Ortus est sol, et congregáti sunt: * et in cubílibus suis collocabúntur.
- Exíbit homo ad opus suum: * et ad operatiónem suam usque ad vésperum.
- Quam magnificáta sunt ópera tua, Dómine! * ómnia in sapiéntia fecísti: impléta est terra possessióne tua.
- Hoc mare magnum, et spatiósum mánibus: * illic reptília, quorum non est númerus.
- Animália pusílla cum magnis: * illic naves pertransíbunt.
- Draco iste, quem formásti ad illudéndum ei: * ómnia a te exspéctant ut des illis escam in témpore.
- Dante te illis, cólligent: * aperiénte te manum tuam, ómnia implebúntur bonitáte.
- Averténte autem te fáciem, turbabúntur: * áuferes spíritum eórum, et defícient, et in púlverem suum reverténtur.
- Emíttes spíritum tuum, et creabúntur: * et renovábis fáciem terræ.
- Sit glória Dómini in sǽculum: * lætábitur Dóminus in opéribus suis:
- Qui réspicit terram, et facit eam trémere: * qui tangit montes, et fúmigant.
- Cantábo Dómino in vita mea: * psallam Deo meo, quámdiu sum.
- Jucúndum sit ei elóquium meum: * ego vero delectábor in Dómino.
- Defíciant peccatóres a terra, et iníqui ita ut non sint: * bénedic, ánima mea, Dómino.
- Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
- Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
Thou hast put on praise and beauty: * and art clothed with light as with a garment.
Who stretchest out the heaven like a pavilion: * who coverest the higher rooms thereof with water.
Who makest the clouds thy chariot: * who walkest upon the wings of the winds.
Who makest thy angels spirits: * and thy ministers a burning fire.
Who hast founded the earth upon its own bases: * it shall not be moved for ever and ever.
The deep like a garment is its clothing: * above the mountains shall the waters stand.
At thy rebuke they shall flee: * at the voice of thy thunder they shall fear.
The mountains ascend, and the plains descend * into the place which thou hast founded for them.
Thou hast set a bound which they shall not pass over; * neither shall they return to cover the earth.
Thou sendest forth springs in the vales: * between the midst of the hills the waters shall pass.
All the beasts of the field shall drink: * the wild asses shall expect in their thirst.
Over them the birds of the air shall dwell: * from the midst of the rocks they shall give forth their voices.
Thou waterest the hills from thy upper rooms: * the earth shall be filled with the fruit of thy works:
Bringing forth grass for cattle, * and herb for the service of men.
That thou mayst bring bread out of the earth: * and that wine may cheer the heart of man.
That he may make the face cheerful with oil: * and that bread may strengthen man’s heart.
The trees of the field shall be filled, and the cedars of Libanus which he hath planted: * there the sparrows shall make their nests.
The highest of them is the house of the heron. * The high hills are a refuge for the harts, the rock for the irchins.
He hath made the moon for seasons: * the sun knoweth his going down.
Thou hast appointed darkness, and it is night: * in it shall all the beasts of the woods go about:
The young lions roaring after their prey, * and seeking their meat from God.
The sun ariseth, and they are gathered together: * and they shall lie down in their dens.
Man shall go forth to his work, * and to his labour until the evening.
How great are thy works, O Lord? * thou hast made all things in wisdom: the earth is filled with thy riches.
So is this great sea, which stretcheth wide its arms: * there are creeping things without number:
Creatures little and great. * There the ships shall go.
This sea dragon which thou hast formed to play therein. * All expect of thee that thou give them food in season.
What thou givest to them they shall gather up: * when thou openest thy hand, they shall all be filled with good.
But if thou turnest away thy face, they shall be troubled: * thou shalt take away their breath, and they shall fail, and shall return to their dust.
Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created: * and thou shalt renew the face of the earth.
May the glory of the Lord endure for ever: * the Lord shall rejoice in his works.
He looketh upon the earth, and maketh it tremble: * he toucheth the mountains, and they smoke.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live: * I will sing praise to my God while I have my being.
Let my speech be acceptable to him: * but I will take delight in the Lord.
Let sinners be consumed out of the earth, and the unjust, so that they be no more: * O my soul, bless thou the Lord.
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.
Send forth thy Spirit, and they shall be created * and Thou shalt renew the face of the earth, alleluia, alleluia.

Pater
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:
℣. Et ne nos indúcas in tentatiónem:

Léctio sancti Evangélii secúndum Ioánnem
Ioannes 3:16-21
In illo témpore: Dixit Iesus Nicodémo: Sic Deus diléxit mundum, ut Fílium suum unigénitum daret: ut omnis, qui credit in eum, non péreat, sed hábeat vitam ætérnam. Et réliqua.
At that time, Jesus said unto Nicodemus: God so loved the world that He gave His Only-begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. And so on.
Tract. 12 in Ioann., sub fin.
Quantum in médico est, sanáre venit ægrótum. Ipse se intérimit, qui præcépta médici observáre non vult. Venit Salvátor in mundum. Quare Salvátor dictus est mundi, nisi ut salvet mundum, non ut iúdicet mundum? Salvári non vis ab ipso: ex te iudicáberis. Et quid dicam, Iudicáberis? Vide quid ait: Qui credit in eum, non iudicátur. Qui autem non credit: quid dictúrum sperábas, nisi: Iudicátur? Quod addit: Iam, inquit, iudicátus est: nondum appáruit iudícium, et iam factum est iudícium.
The Physician cometh that, as often as in him lieth, he may heal the sick man. He is his own destroyer who will not keep the commandments of the Physician. Into the world came the Saviour. Why is He called the Saviour of the world, but because He came “into the world not to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved”? If thou willest not be saved through Him, thou wilt be condemned of thyself. And why say I that thou wilt be condemned? Because it is written: “He that believeth in Him is not condemned.” What then canst thou hope that He will say of “him that believeth not,” but that He will be condemned And indeed He doth say farther: “He that believeth not is condemned already.” He is condemned already, though the condemnation be not yet openly pronounced.
Gloria omittitur:
Divínum auxílium máneat semper nobíscum.
Novit enim Dóminus qui sunt eius: novit qui permáneant ad corónam, qui permáneant ad flammam. Novit in área sua tríticum, novit et páleam: novit ségetem, novit et zizánia. Iam iudicátus est, qui non credit. Quare iudicátus? Quia non crédidit in nómine unigéniti Fílii Dei. Hoc est autem iudícium: quia lux venit in mundum, et dilexérunt hómines magis ténebras, quam lucem: erant enim mala ópera eórum. Fratres mei, quorum ópera bona invénit Dóminus? Nullórum. Omnia ópera mala invénit. Quómodo ergo quidam fecérunt veritátem, et venérunt ad lucem? Et hoc enim séquitur: Qui autem facit veritátem, venit ad lucem.
He is condemned already, for “the Lord knoweth them that are His.” He knoweth them for whom is laid up the crown, and likewise them that are reserved unto the fire. His eye seeth in the field of the world the distinction of the wheat and of the straw, of the good corn and of the tares. “He that believeth not is condemned already.” And why? “Because he hath not believed in the Name of the Only-begotten Son of God. And this is the condemnation that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” “Because their deeds were evil”, but, my brethren, is there one man of whom God findeth that his works are good? No, not one. God findeth all works to be (in themselves) bad. How then do we hear that some there be who do truth, and come to the light? For these words come anon: “But he that doeth truth, cometh to the light.”
Ad societátem cívium supernórum perdúcat nos Rex Angelórum.
Sed dilexérunt, inquit, ténebras magis quam lucem. Ibi pósuit vim. Multi enim dilexérunt peccáta sua, multi conféssi sunt peccáta sua: quia qui confitétur peccáta sua, et accúsat peccáta sua, iam cum Deo facit. Accúsat Deus peccáta tua: si et tu accúsas, coniúngeris Deo. Quasi duæ res sunt, homo et peccátor. Quod audis homo, Deus fecit: quod audis peccátor, ipse homo fecit. Dele, quod fecísti, ut Deus salvet, quod fecit. Opórtet ut óderis in te opus tuum, et ames in te opus Dei. Cum autem cœ́perit tibi displicére quod fecísti, inde incípiunt bona ópera tua, quia accúsas mala ópera tua. Inítium óperum bonórum, conféssio est óperum malórum.
But the Lord saith [of such as these, who are condemned already, because they believe not in Him]: “They loved darkness rather than light.” And here He maketh the great point [of difference between such, and them that do the truth.] There are many who have loved their sins there are many who have confessed their sins and he that confessed and denounceth his sin, is working already with God. God denounceth thy sins, and if thou denounce them likewise, then dost thou join thyself with God in His act. The man and the sinner are two different things. God made the man, and the man made the sinner. Put away thy work, and God will save His. Thou art behoven to hate in thyself thine own work, and to love God's work. When thine own works begin to displease thee, then is it that thou beginnest to do well, because thou denouncest thine own evil works. The first thing to do, if thou wouldest do good works, is to acknowledge thine evil ones.

Deus, qui Apóstolis tuis Sanctum dedísti Spíritum: † concéde plebi tuæ piæ petitiónis efféctum; * ut, quibus dedísti fidem, largiáris et pacem.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum: † qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte eiúsdem Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
O God, Who didst give thine Holy Spirit unto thine Apostles, grant unto thy people the effectual fruit of their godly supplications, and as Thou hast given them faith, give them also peace.
Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Holy Ghost, God, world without end.
