Introitus: Illuxerunt (Psalm 77: 18; Psalm 84: 1-2) – Chant

Psalm 77: 18b; Psalm 84: 1-2a [Latin]The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.

How lovely are thy tabernacles, O Lord of hosts! my soul longeth and fainteth for the courts of the Lord. My heart and my flesh have rejoiced in the living God.

ILLUXÉRUNT coruscatióne tu orbi terræ: commóta est et contrémuit terra.

Quam dilécta tabernácula tua, Dómine virútum! concupíscit et déficit ánima mea in átria Dómini. [Gloria Patri…]
