Latin text
Canite tuba in Sion, quia prope est dies Domini:
ecce venit ad salvandum nos.
Erunt prava in directa, et aspera in vias planas:
veni, Domine, et noli tardare. Alleluja.
-- Joel 2, Isaias 40:4
Rorate coeli desuper,
et nubes pluant justum:
aperiatur terra et germinet Salvatorem.
Ostende nobis, Domine, misericordiam tuam,
et salutare tuum da nobis:
veni Domine, et noli tardare. Alleluja.
-- Isaias 45:8
English text
Sound the trumpet in Sion, for the day of the Lord is nigh:
behold, he cometh for our salvation.
The crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain:
come, O Lord, and do not delay. Alleluia.
Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above
and let the clouds pour down righteousness:
let the earth open and bring forth the Savior.
Show us thy mercy, O Lord,
and grant us thy salvation:
come, O Lord, and do not delay. Alleluia.
