Creation’s Prayer
Deus, in adjutórium meum inténde
Dómine, ad adjuvándum me festína
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen. Alleluia.

The heavens declare the glory of God,
and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.
Day unto day breathes forth a word,
and night unto night imparts the knowledge.
No speech, no word, whose voice goes unheeded;
Their sound goes forth through all the earth,
their message to the utmost bounds of the world.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Splendor paternae gloriae,
de luce lucem proferens,
lux lucis et fons luminis,
diem dies illuminans.
Verusque sol, illabere
micans nitore perpeti,
iubarque Sancti Spiritus
infunde nostris sensibus.
Votis vocemus et Patrem,
Patrem perennis gloriae,
Patrem potentis gratiae,
culpam releget lubricam.
Informet actus strenuos,
dentem retundat invidi,
casus secundet asperos,
donet gerendi gratiam.
Mentem gubernet et regat
casto, fideli corpore;
fides calore ferveat,
fraudis venena nesciat.
Christusque nobis sit cibus,
potusque noster sit fides;
laeti bibamus sobriam
ebrietatem Spiritus.
Laetus dies hic transeat;
pudor sit ut diluculum,
fides velut meridies,
crepusculum mens nesciat.
Aurora cursus provehit:
Aurora totus prodeat,
in Patre totus Filius
et totus in Verbo Pater. Amen.

Praise the Lord from the heavens;
praise him in the heights.
Praise him, all his angels;
praise him, all his hosts.
Praise him, sun and moon;
praise him, all shining stars.
Praise him, highest heavens,
and waters above the heavens.
Let them praise the name of the Lord.
He commanded: they were created.
He established them forever and ever,
gave a law which shall not pass away.
Praise the Lord from the earth,
sea creatures and all ocean depths,
fire and hail, snow and mist,
stormy winds that fulfill his command;
mountains and all hills,
fruit trees and all cedars,
beasts, both wild and tame,
creeping things and birds on the wind;
kings of the earth and all peoples,
princes and all judges of the earth,
young men and maidens as well,
the old and the young together.
Let them praise the name of the Lord,
for his name alone is exalted,
his splendor above heaven and earth.
He exalts the strength of his people.
He is the praise of all his faithful,
the praise of the children of Israel,
of the people to whom he is close.
Alleluia.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He was in the beginning with God;
all things were made through him,
and without him was not anything made that was made.
In him was life,
and the life was the light of men.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness has not overcome it.
𖤓
Clouds of incense rose in the presence of the Lord.
— Clouds of incense rose in the presence of the Lord.
From the hand of the angel incense rose
— in the presence of the Lord.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
— Clouds of incense rose in the presence of the Lord.
𖤓
Pater noster, qui es in caelis,
Sanctificetur Nomen Tuum;
Adveniat Regnum Tuum;
Fiat voluntas Tua,
Sicut in caelo, et in terra.
Panem nostrum quotidianum da nobis hodie;
Et dimitte nobis debita nostra,
Sicut et nos dimittimus debitoribus nostris;
Et ne nos inducas in tentationem;
Sed libera nos a Malo.
Amen.
𖤓
Dóminus nos benedícat, et ab omni malo deféndat, et dedúcat nos in vitam ætérnam. Amen.
