Original text and translations
Latin text
Roráte caéli désuper, et núbes plúant iústum:
aperiátur térra, et gérminet Salvatórem.
Ps. 18: Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei:
et opera manuum ejus annuntiat firmamentum.
Gloria Patri et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto:
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.
For Votive Masses in Advent the psalm verse Benedixisti Dominum is used in place of Caeli enarrant.
