Holy God, Holy and Mighty, Holy Immortal One,
Have mercy on us
Agios o Theos, Agios ischyros, Agios athanatos,
eleison imas.
Sanctus Deus, Sanctus Fortis, Sanctus Immortális,
miserére nobis.
Venite (Psalm 95:1-7)
Antiphon: Come, let us worship the Lord, the King of apostles.
Come let us sing to the Lord; *
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God, *
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *
and the heights of the hills are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it, *
and his hands have molded the dry land.
Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *
and 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. *
Today if you would hear his voice,
harden not your hearts.
Antiphon: Come, let us worship the Lord, the King of apostles.
HYMN
Commune vos, apostoli, extollat hymni iubilum, quos advocat par gratia, coronat una gloria. Ardore pulsus caelico, Christi premis vestigia, Simon, et illum nuntias zelo peractus impigro. Tu carne frater, assecla fraterque Christi spiritu, Iuda, Magistrum praedicas scriptisque fratres erudis. Nec pertimescit sanguinem uterque purum fundere, ut veritatis enitens sit testis atque victima. O summa caeli sidera, nos detis ut per aspera, fide valentes integra, tendamus ad caelestia. Patri per aevum gloria Natoque cum Paraclito, quorum supernis gaudiis simul fruemur perpetim. Amen. |
One joyful hymn of praise must greet Apostles whom we always find Together in the Gospel's page, By faithful love and zeal combined. To follow Christ in early youth Was surely Simon's joy and pride, Before the Zealot would set forth To preach His Name both far and wide. Saint Jude, a kinsman of our Lord, In heart and mind yet closer still, Your words remain until this day With hope and love our souls to fill. As brothers both in life and death, A martyrs crown was your reward, As shining witnesses to truth And victims worthy of your Lord. O gleaming stars in heaven's light Help us to tread our thorny way. That with our faith alert and strong We may attain to glory's day. Be praised the Father evermore, The Holy Spirit and the Son, May we rejoice before God's throne Eternally when life is done. Amen. |
English:
You are God: we praise you; You, Christ, are the king of glory, |
Latin:
Te deum laudamus Tu Rex gloriæ, Christe, tu Patris |
Divinely we praise you, O Jude, as a faithful witness.
You trampled on delusion,
And so preserved the faith.
Today as we celebrate your holy memory,
By your intercessions we receive remission of sins.
