Hi sacerdotes

Hi sacerdotes Domini sacrati

Latinam Hi sacerdotes Domini sacrati, consecratores Domini fideles atque pastores populi fuere impigro amore. Namque susceptae benedictionis dona servantes, studere, lumbos fortiter cincti, manibus coruscas ferre lucernas. Sicque suspense vigilesque, quando ianuam pulsans Dominus veniret, obviaverunt properanti alacres pandere limen. Gloriae summum decus atque laudis, rex, tibi, regum, Deitas perennis, quicquid est rerum celebret per omne tempus et aevum. Amen.	English These holy and sanctified priests of the Lord, were consecrators of the Lord's faithful ones, and they were good shepherds of the Lord's household with unwearied love. For they undertook to give sanctified gifts to the members of the household, were zealous, with strongly girded loins and with hands shining to bear the trimm'd lamps. And thus raised up and keeping watch, as wise ones, when the Lord comes knocking upon the house-door, they have met swiftly and eagerly to lay open the threshold. Glory, most-highest honour, and also praise, to you, king of kings, eternally divine, who is eminent and celebrated through all time and forever. Amen.
