Original text and translations

The first two lines of the Prima Pars comprise the second antiphon for Vespers on the Feast of the Guardian Angels (October 2). The remainder is of unknown origin, but strongly resembles, in form and content, a preface to the Eucharistic Canon. The Secunda Pars is composed of strophes from the Vesper hymn Christe, Redemptor omnium, conserva, from the Feast of All Saints (November 1).

Latin text Prima Pars Laudemus Dominum quem laudant angeli, quem cherubin et seraphin Sanctus Sanctus Sanctus proclamant: igitur omnipotentem Deum in primis laudare nos condecet, qui singulos condidit sanctos; per quem facta sunt omnia; cuius maiestas nec incipit nec desinit per sæcula; unde merito alpha et o, principium et finis dicitur, et de quo per sapientem dictum est omnis sapientia a Domino Deo est, et cum illo fuit semper et est ante ævum. Secunda Pars Christe redemptor omnium, conserva tuos famulos beate semper virginis placatus sanctis precibus. Beata quoque agmina cælestium spirituum, præterita, præsentia, futura mala pellite. Martyres Dei inclyti confessoresque lucidi, vestris orationibus nos ferte in cælestibus. Chorus sacrarum virginum electorumque omnium simul cum sanctis omnibus, consortes Christi facite. Gloria Patri ingenito, eiusque unigenito, una cum Sancto Spiritu in sempiterna sæcula. Amen.

English translation Prima Pars Let us praise the Lord, whom the angels praise, to whom cherubim and seraphim proclaim “Holy, Holy, Holy”. Therefore it is fitting, above all, for us to praise Almighty God, who has preserved each of the saints; through whom all things were made; whose majesty has neither beginning nor end through the ages; who is rightly called Alpha and Omega: the beginning and end, and of whom it was said by the sages that all Wisdom is from the Lord God, and was ever with him, from before the ages. Secunda Pars O Christ, the Redeemer of all, protect your servants through the atoning prayers of the holy and blessed perpetual Virgin. And also, ye blessed hosts of the heavenly spirits, drive away all ills— past, present and future. Renowned martyrs of God and shining confessors of faith, through your prayers, bear us up to heaven. Chorus of sacred virgins, and all of the elect, together with all the saints, make us companions of Christ. Glory to the Father, the unbegotten, and to him, the sole-begotten, together with the Holy Spirit, through the endless ages. Amen.
