Gaudéte in Dómino semper: íterum díco, gaudéte: modéstia véstra nóta sit ómnibus homínibus: Dóminus prope est. Nihil sollíciti sítis: sed in ómni oratióne petitiónes véstrae innotéscant apud Déum.

Rejoice in the Lord always; again I say, rejoice. Let your forbearance be known to all peoples. The Lord is at hand. Do not be anxious over anything; but in all manner or prayer, let your requests be made known unto God.

arise, shine, for thy light is come,

arise, arise, arise, shine, for thy light come!

upon thee,

the glory, the glory, the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.

Behold, behold, the glory of the Lord,

of the Lord, the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.
