HymnusNoctis tempus iam preterit,iam gallus canent, uiribus gallo canente spes redit; egris salus refunditur. Somnum grauati(s) surgite,cordis reatum pandite, Ihesuque laudem dicite, qui nos redemit sanguine. Non ut fa(lla)x discipulus,qui pacem ferens osculo; et dolo tenens pectore, turbis magistrum tradidit. Ihesus captus ab impiis:disparguntur discipuli: loquutus (locutus) est ut dominus noctis ferens scandalum. Ihesus suis discipulis,dum crucem suam predicat, negaris esse premonet; Petrus facturus abnegat. Petrus (feruens) ferbens spiritusequitur in pretorio; sed agnitum discipuli (discipulum), negabit [negauit] Christum dominum. Petrus iurabat omnibus:se non (nouisse) nobisse hominem: uox namque galli resonat, et Petrus culpam meminit. Ihesus, dum petrum respicit,fidem Petri dum suscipit, Petrusque, flendo, recipit, quod ante paulo admiserat. Et nos precamur, domine,fidem Petri recipere, fideque apostolica, flere pro nostra crimina. Gallo canente uenimus;laudes deo persoluimus: confessionis proprie, dantes ei ueram fidem. Abscedat princeps demonumcum noxiis fantasmatum: iam nos piabit (piauit) ueritas; iam probra tersit caritas. Hinc te, deus, te poscimus,ut peruagantes (peruacantes) da[e]mona[s] signum salutis dextruas {destruas}; nos a pauore (pabore) liberans. Hac (Hanc) noctis {h}ora presciumdauit {David} future glori[a]e deo preces multiplicat, in matutinis excubat. Et (Hec) nos oportet surgereillo uigore corporis, illoque uoto spiritus, quod expiemur sordibus. Exurge, nobiscum deus,laudes tuorum suscipe, lustrando corda lubrica lucis nobella gratia. Præsta, Pater Piíssime,Patríque compar Únice, Cum Spíritu Paráclito Regnans per omne sæculum. ℟.Amen. |
HymnThe time of night now passeth hence,The cock doth crow with mighty strength; When cock doth crow, hope returneth forth, And health unto the sick poureth back. Arise ye who are heavy with sleep,Lay bare the guilt within thy hearts, And speak ye praise to Jesus Lord, Who hath redeemed us with His blood. Not as the treacherous disciple did,Who bearing peace with kiss of mouth, Yet holding guile within his breast, Betrayed the Master to the throng. Jesus, seized by godless men:The disciples scattered far and wide: He spake as Lord foretelling thus The stumbling block that night would bring. Jesus to His own disciples,While speaking of His cross to come, Forewarned that they would Him deny; Peter vowed he would do no such thing. Peter, burning in his spiritFollowed to the judgment hall; But known there as His disciple, Denied the Christ his Lord divine. Peter swore to all aroundThat he knew not this man at all: Then did the cock's voice sound aloud, And Peter called his fault to mind. When Jesus gazed on Peter's face,And Peter's faith He took again, Then Peter, weeping, did receive What he had lost but hours before. We pray Thee likewise, O our Lord,To grant us Peter's faith renewed, And through apostolic belief, To weep for all our wickedness. At cockcrow now we gather here;Our praises unto God we pay: In true confession of our own, We give to Him our steadfast faith. Let flee the prince of demons henceWith harmful phantoms of the night: Now truth shall cleanse us thoroughly; Now love hath wiped our shame away. Hence we beseech Thee, mighty God,That wandering demons Thou might smite; The sign of health do Thou destroy; From terror set us fully free. At this hour of night foreknowingDavid saw the coming glory And multiplied his prayers to God, Keeping watch in early morn. Thus must we likewise rise from sleepWith that same vigor of the flesh, And with that purpose of the soul, That we be cleansed of all our filth. Arise, O God, abide with us,Receive the praises of Thine own, And cleanse our slippery hearts withal Through grace of light now newly born. Grant this, most loving Father,And the only begotten Son, With the Holy Spirit the Comforter, Reigning through all eternity. ℟.Amen. |
