Latin text
Rorate caeli desuper, et nubes pluant justum: aperiatur terra, et germinet salvatorem.
Benedixisti, Domine, terram tuam: avertisti captivitatem Jacob.
Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto. Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
English translation
Drop down ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: Let the earth open and bring forth a Saviour.
Lord, thou hast blessed thy land: Thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob.
Glory be...
