Qua Christus hora sitiit

crucem vel in qua aubiit,

quos praestat in hac psallere

ditet siti iustitiae.

Simul sit in his esuries,

quam ipse de se satiet,

crimen sit ut fastidium

virtusque desiderium.

Charisma Sancti Spiritus,

sic influat psallentibus,

'''English'''

The hour in which Christ became thirsty

or also in which, unto the cross, He climbed,

supplies those in this hour to sing psalms,

enriches with thirst for justice.

At the same time, may it be with these, hunger,

which may He from Himself satisfy,

may crime be unto loathing

and virtue, desire.

The Gift of the Holy Spirit

thus let it flow into those singing the psalms,

that the flesh's heat may become frigid

and the mind's coldness may become fervent.

To Christ we pray and to the Father,

and Christ's and the Father's Spirit;

One, Powerful through all things,

support those entreating, O Trinity! Amen.

With applauses, O Luke, we sing, the triumph

in which you shine in spilt red blood,

and in the lofty merits is the gained

duly crown.

By the Spirit's lead, the wonders to the world

which the heavenly zealous shepherd taught

and the merciful Christ did in love,

thou pass on lovingly.

Provident, with papers graceful, thou present

the things carried out by Jesus which honour the disciples,

and His people's new things which are made known

into new ages.

O companion of Paul, eyewitness of that

noble heart but also an emulator,

make that the love of Christ may constantly in our

and confer the joyful alleviation of faith,

that to God finally we may reach, in Him

Eternal Maker of all things,

Thou who rule the night and the day,

and give times of times

to alleviate weariness.

The proclaimer of the days now sounds,

ever-watchful of deep night,

The nocturnal light for the travelling

night from night, separating.

With this the risen morning star

frees the sky from gloom;

With this the whole of the vagabonds' multitude

the ways of what is harmful, desert.

With this the sailor sums up strength

the seas and oceans become mild;

With this, the very rock of the church,

in singing, washes guilt away.

Jesus! Look on the wavering

and, in looking upon us, correct us;

If you look, the lapsed fall

and, with weeping, their guilt is loosed.

Thou, Light, illumine our senses

and from our minds disperse sleep;

To Thee first may our voice ring out

and may we fulfil our vows to Thee.

May it be, O Christ, King most loving,

and to Thee Father, Glory!

with the Spirit Paraclete

tu, sancte, sis exordium.

Cedant tenebrae lumini

et nox diurno sideri,

ut culpa, quam nox intulit,

lucis labascat munere.

Precamur idem supplices

noxas ut omnes amputes,

et ore te canentium

lauderis in perpetuum.

Praesta, Pater piisime,

Patrique compar Unice,

cum Spiritu Paraclito

regnans per omne saeculum. Amen.

'''English'''

With sleep, the limbs having been refreshed,

the bed having been spurned, we rise:

Come to us, Father, who are singing

to be near Thee, we ask earnestly.

Thee, may the tongue first sing of,

from Thee, may love visit our minds,

that, of the acts following,

Thou, Holy One, may be the beginning.

May darkness give way to the light

and the night to the day star

that fault, which the night brought in,

may yield to light's office.

We pray the same kneeling

that every offence you may take away,

and Thou, from the mouth of those singing,

may be praised in perpetuity.

Grant this, Father most tender,

and to the only One equal to the Father,

with the Spirit Paraclete

reigning through every age. Amen.

Primo dierum omnium,

quo mundus exstat conditus

nos, morte victa, liberat.

Pulsis procul torporibus,

surgamus omnes ocius,

et nocte quaeramus pium,

sicut Prophetam novimus.

Nostras preces ut audiat

suamque dextram porrigat,

et hic piatos sordibus

On the First of all days,

in which the world hidden becomes visible

also in which the Author, resurrecting,

death having been conquered, liberates us.

Slothfulnesses having been driven far away,

may we all rise swifter

and in the night let us seek the Holy One,

as from the Prophet we have known,

That our prayers may he hear

and His right hand may He stretch out

and here those having been cleansed from sordidness

may He return to seats in the heights,

That, too, we who to the Most Holy

of this day in time

in hours of quiet sing psalms,

with blessed gifts may He bestow.

To God the Father may glory be

and to his only Son

with the Spirit Paraclete,

in everlasting ages. Amen.
