Invitatory Psalm

O come, let us sing unto the Lord: let us make a joyful noise to the rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving: and make a joyful noise unto him with psalms. For the Lord is a great God: and a great King above all gods. In his hand are the deep places of the earth: the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. For he is our God: and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. 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.

Hymn (1)

Attr. T homas of Celano, c. 1255; Trans. 1962 Missal, J.A.D. Aylward & W.F. Wingfield. During the First and Second Weeks of Advent, this first part of the Dies Irae may be sung; or else V Clara or another hymn may be substituted. ox Dies irae, dies illa, solvet saeculum in favilla, teste David cum Sibylla. Quantus tremor est futurus, quando iudex est venturus, cuncta stricte discussurus! Tuba mirum spargens sonum per sepulcra regionum, coget omnes ante thronum. Mors stupebit et natura, cum resurget creatura, iudicanti responsura. Liber scriptus proferetur, in quo totum continetur, unde mundus iudicetur. Iudex ergo cum sedebit, quidquid latet apparebit: nil inultum remanebit. Quid sum miser tunc dicturus? quem patronum rogaturus? cum vix iustus sit securus. Rex tremendae maiestatis, qui salvandos salvas gratis, salva me, fons pietatis. Recordare Iesu pie, quod sum causa tuae viae: ne me perdas illa die. Quaerens me, sedisti lassus: redemisti crucem passus: tantus labor non sit cassus. Matins & V espers 22

That day of wrath, that dreadful day,

shall heaven and earth in ashes lay, as David and the Sybil say. What horror must invade the mind when the approaching Judge shall find and sift the deeds of all mankind! The mighty trumpet's wondrous tone shall rend each tomb's sepulchral stone and summon all before the Throne. Now death and nature with surprise behold the trembling sinners rise to meet the Judge's searching eyes. Then shall with universal dread the Book of Consciences be read to judge the lives of all the dead. For now before the Judge severe all hidden things must plain appear; no crime can pass unpunished here. O what shall I, so guilty plead? and who for me will intercede? when even Saints shall comfort need? O King of dreadful majesty! grace and mercy Y grant free; ou as Fount of Kindness, save me! Recall, dear Jesus, for my sake you did our suffering nature take then do not now my soul forsake! In weariness Y sought for me, ou and suffering upon the tree! let not in vain such labor be.

Hymn (2)
During the Second and T hird weeks of Advent, this shall be sung. 6th Century office hymn; translation (perhaps) by J.M. Neale. A thrilling voice by Jordan rings, Vox clara ecce intonat, rebuking guilt and darksome things: obscura quaeque increpat: vain dreams of sin and visions fly; procul fugentur somnia; Christ in His might shines forth on high. ab aethere Christus promicat. Mens iam resurgat torpida quae sorde exstat saucia; sidus refulget iam novum, ut tollat omne noxium. E sursum Agnus mittitur laxare gratis debitum; omnes pro indulgentia vocem demus cum lacrimis, Secundo ut cum fulserit mundumque horror cinxerit, non pro reatu puniat, sed nos pius tunc protegat. Summo Parenti gloria Natoque sit victoria, et Flamini laus debita per saeculorum saecula. Amen.

Now let each torpid soul arise, that sunk in guilt and wounded lies; see! the new Star's refulgent ray shall chase disease and sin away.
The Lamb descends from heaven above

to pardon sin with freest love: for such indulgent mercy shewn with tearful joy our thanks we own. That when again He shines revealed, and trembling worlds to terror yield. He give not sin its just reward, but in His love protect and guard. T the most high Parent glory be o and to the Son be victory, and to the Spirit praise is owed from age to age eternally. Amen.
