Te deprecamur ultimas
Magnum diei Judicem:
Armis supernæ gratiæ
Defende nos ab hostibus.
Virtus, honor, laus, gloria
Deo Patri, cum Filio,
Sancto simul Paraclito,
In sæculorum sæcula.
Amen.
O Thou whose coming is with dread,
To judge the living and the dead,
Preserve us, while we dwell below,
From ev'ry insult of the foe.
To Him who comes the world to free.
To God the Son, all glory be:
To God the Father, as is meet,
To God the blessed Paraclete.
Amen.

ADVENT HYMN.
VENI, veni, Emmanuel!
Captivum solve Israel,
Qui gemit in exilio,
Privatus Dei Filio.
Gaude! gaude! Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.
Veni, O Jesse virgula!
Ex hostis tuos ungula,
De specu tuos tartari
Educ, et antro barathri.
Gaude! gaude! Emmanuel
Nascetur pro te, Israel.
Veni, veni, O Oriens!
Solare nos adveniens:
Noctis depelle nebulas,
Dirasque noctis tenebras.
DRAW nigh, draw nigh, Emmanuel,
And ransom captive Israel,
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall be born for thee, O Israel!
Draw nigh, O Jesse's Rod, draw nigh.
To free us from the enemy;
From Hell's infernal pit to save,
And give us victory o'er the grave.
Rejoice! rejoice! Emmanuel
Shall be born for thee, O Israel!
Draw nigh, Thou Orient, who shalt cheer
And comfort by Thine Advent here.
And banish far the brooding gloom
Of sinful night and endless doom.
