Adore God, all you His Angels. Zion heard, and was glad, and the daughters of Judah rejoiced.
The Lord had reigned, let the earth rejoice, let many islands be glad.

Familiam Tuam, quaesumus, Domine, continua pietate custodi : ut, quae in sola spe gratiae caelestis innititur, Tua semper protectione muniatur. Per Dominum nostrum Jesum Christum Filium Tuum, Qui Tecum vivit et regnat in unitate Spiritus Sancti Deus : per omnia saecula saeculorum. Amen.
