This day you shall know that the Lord will come, and save us, and in the morning you shall see His glory.

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof, the world, and all those who dwell therein.

Collect

Deus, qui nos redemptionis nostrae annua exspectatione laetificas : praesta; ut Unigenitum Tuum, quem Redemptorem laeti suscipimus, venientem quoque Judicem securi videamus, Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum, Filium Tuum : Qui Tecum vivis et regnas in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.

English translation

O God, Who had gladdened us year by year with the expectation of our redemption, grant that we, who now with joy receive Your only begotten Son as our Redeemer, may behold Him also without fear, when He comes as our Judge, our Lord Jesus Christ, Who with You lives and reigns, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
