Office canticles: Isaiah 2

The second canticle for the dedication of a church is from Isaiah 2:2-3.


Canticum Isaiae
Et erit in novíssimis diebus: præparátus mons domus Dómini *in vértice móntium,
And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains,
Et elevábitur super colles; * et fluent ad eum omnes gentes.
And it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it.
Et ibunt pópuli multi, et dicent: * Veníte, et ascendámus ad montem Dómini, et ad domum Dei Iacob;
And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob,
Et docóbit nos vias suas, * et ambulábimus in sémitis eius:
And he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths:
Quia de Sion exíbit lex, * et verbum Dómini de Ierúsalem.
For the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Glória Patri, et Fílio, * et Spirítui Sancto.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, * and to the Holy Ghost.
Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, * et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
As it was in the beginning, is now, * and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
