Cum Spiritu Paraclito Regnans per omne sæculum.

Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Shall live and reign eternally.

 VESPER HYMN. (See p. 190.)

  COMPLINE, OR EVENING HYMN. (See p. 73.)

  ADVENT, AT VESPERS.

REATOR alme siderum, Æterna lux credentium, Jesu, Redemptor omnium, Intende votis supplicum.

Qui dæmonis ne fraudibus Periret orbis, impetu Amoris actus, languidi Mundi medela factus es.

Commune qui mundi nefas Ut expiares, ad Crucem E Virginis sacrario Intacta prodis victima.

Cujus potestas gloriae, Nomenque cum primum sonat, Et cœlites, et inferi Tremente curvantur genu.

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.

REATOR of the stars of night, Thy people's everlasting light, Jesu, Redeemer, save us all, And hear Thy servants when they call.

Thou, grieving that the ancient curse Should doom to death an universe, Hast found the med'cine, full of grace, To save and heal a ruin'd race.

Thou cam'st, the Bridegroom of the Bride, As drew the world to evening tide, Proceeding from a virgin shrine, The spotless Victim all divine.

At whose dread Name, majestic now, All knees must bend, all hearts must bow; And things celestial Thee shall own, And things terrestrial, Lord alone.

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.
