Hymn at None: (HYMNS of the Anglo-Saxon Church)

 A very strange hymn for None in Lent and perhaps the result of scribal error.


THE Hymns of the Anglo-Saxon Church, Igne B. Milfull



PERFECTO TRINO NUMERO

ternis horaum terminis

laudes cantes debitas

nonam dicentes psallimus


Sacrum dei myterium

puro tentes pectore

Petri magistri regulam

 signo sautis proditam


et nos psallamus spiritu

adherentes apostlis

qui plantas habent debiles

Christi virtute diligant.


GLORIA Tibi, trinitas.


Now that the number three is full, made up of periods of three hours each we sing, chanting the songs of praise we owe, and reciting the Office of None. Keeping the sacred mystery of God, in a pure heart and the rule Peter, our teacher, as it was made known to us by the sign, the healing. Let us also sing, cleaving in our spirits to the apostles. May they love those who have weak feet by the by the healing power of Christ.

Glory to thee, O Trinity.

Sung on weekdays in Lent in the Winchester Hymnal.
