Ordinary of Passiontide

Invitatory antiphon.

Hódie, si vocem Dómini audiéritis, * Nolíte obduráre corda vestra. NR LIX; LH 52 -In Psalm 94, omit the Gloria and instead repeat the invitatory in full twice at the end of the psalm.

When you hear the voice of the Lord today * Do not harden your heart.

Hymn

Pange, lingua, gloriósi Proélium certáminis, Et super Crucis trophaéum Dic triúmphum nóbilem: Quáliter Redémptor orbis Immolátus vícerit.	Sing, my tongue, the glorious battle Sing the last, the dread affray; O'er the cross, the victor's trophy, Sound the high triumphal lay: Tell how Christ, the world's Redeemer, As a victim won the day.
De paréntis protoplásti Fraude Factor cóndolens, Quando pomi noxiális Morsu in mortem córruit: Ipse lignum tunc notávit, Damna ligni ut sólveret.	God, his Maker, sorely grieving That the first-made Adam fell, When he ate the fruit of sorrow, Whose reward was death and hell, Noted then this wood, the ruin Of the ancient wood to quell.
Hoc opus nostrae salútis Ordo depopóscerat: Multifórmis perditóris Ars ut artem fálleret, Et médelam ferret inde, Hostis unde láeserat.	For the work of our salvation Needs would have his order so, And the multiform deceiver's Art by art would overthrow, And from thence would bring the med'cine Whence the insult of the foe.
Quando venit ergo sacri Plenitúdo témporis, Missus est ab arce Patris Natus orbis Cónditor; Atque ventre virgináli Caro factus pródiit.	Wherefore, when the sacred fullness Of the appointed time was come, This world's Maker left his Father, Sent the heav'nly mansion from, And proceeded, God Incarnate, Of the Virgin's holy womb.
Vagit infans inter arta Cónditus praesépia: Membra pannis involúta Virgo mater álligat: Et manus pedésque, et crura Stricta pingit fáscia.	Weeps the infant in the manger That in Bethlehem's stable stands; And his limbs the Virgin Mother Doth compose in swaddling bands, Meetly thus in linen folding Of her God the feet and hands.
Glória et honor Deo Usquequáque altissímo, Una Patri, Filióque; Inclito Paráclito: Cui laus est et potéstas Per aeterna sáecula. Amen.	Glory be to God, and honor In the highest, as is meet, To the Son and to the Father, And the eternal Paraclete, Whose is boundless praise and power, Through the ages infinite. Amen.
