Nunc Dimittis  (2004)

Now, Lord, you let your servant go in peace: your word has been fulfilled. 
My own eyes have seen the salvation which you have prepared in the sight of every people; 
A light to reveal you to the nations and the glory of your people Israel.               
          Luke 2.29-32  

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

Phos Hilaron (2004)

O joyful light,
from the pure glory of the eternal heavenly Father,
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessèd.

As we now come to the setting of the sun
and behold the evening light,
we give praise to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You are worthy at all times to be praised with happy voices,
O Son of God, O giver of life,
and to be glorified through all creation.

          Ancient Christian hymn.

Marian Antiphon No.3  -  Regina caeli  (2005)

Regina caeli, laetare, alleluia,
quia quem meruisti portare, alleluia,  
resurrexit sicut dixit, alleluia;
ora pro nobis Deum, alleluia.
Gaude et laetare, Virgo Maria, alleluia. 
Quia surrexit Dominus vere, alleluia.   

Translation:
Queen of heaven, rejoice, alleluia,
for he whom you were merited to bear, alleluia,
was resurrected as he said, alleluia;
entreat God for us, alleluia.
Be joyful and rejoice, Virgin Mary, alleluia,
Because the Lord has truly risen, alleluia.
