Redemisti nos, Domine, in sanguine Tuo, ex omni tribu et lingua et populo et natione : et fecisti nos Deo nostro regnum.
Misericordias Domini in aeternum cantabo : in generationem et generationem annuntiabo veritatem Tuam in ore meo.
Response : Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto, sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper : et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
English translation
You have redeemed us, o Lord, in Your blood, out of every tribe and tongue, and people, and nation, and have made us to our God a kingdom.
The mercies of the Lord I will sing forever, I will show forth Your truth with my mouth to generation and generation.
Response : Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Collect
Omnipotens sempiterne Deus, qui unigenitum Filium Tuum mundi Redemptorem constituisti, ac ejus Sanguine placari voluisti : concede, quaesumus, salutis nostrae pretium sollemni cultu ita venerari, atque a praesentis vitae malis ejus virtute defendi in terris; ut fructu perpetuo laetemur in caelis. Per eumdem Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium Tuum, qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus, per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
English translation
Almighty, Eternal God, Who has appointed Your only begotten Son to be the Redeemer of the world, and has willed to be appeased by His Blood, grant us, we beseech You, so incessantly to worship the price of our salvation, and to be so defended by its power from the ills of this life on earth, that we may enjoy its everlasting fruit in heaven. Through the same Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who with You lives and reigns in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, world without end. Amen.
