Laetentur Coeli



Laetentur coeli,
et exultet terra.
Jubilate montes laudem,
quia Dominus noster veniet,
* et pauperum suorum miserebitur.

Let the heavens be glad,
and let the earth rejoice.
Let the mountains break forth in praise,
because our Lord will come,
* and he will have mercy on his poor ones.

℣ Orietur in diebus tuis justitia,
et abundantia pacis,
* et pauperum suorum miserebitur.


℣ Justice will arise in your days,
and an abundance of peace,
* and he will have mercy on his poor ones.

—Isaiah 49:13, Psalm 71:7.  From a Responsory for Matins for the first Monday of Advent.
* marks the "repetendum" (repeated concluding line) and ℣ the verse.
