Common of Dedication of a Church: Lauds updated



Lauds: 8th-9th Centuries

Anguláris fundaméntum
lapis Christus missus est,
qui paríetum compáge
in utróque néctitur,
quem Sion sancta suscépit,
in quo credens pérmanet.

Omnis illa Deo sacra
et dilécta cívitas,
plena módulis in laude
et canóre iúbilo,
trinum Deum unicúmque
cum fervóre prædicat.

Hoc in templo, summe Deus,
exorátus ádveni,
et cleménti bonitáte
precum vota súscipe;
largam benedictiónem
hic infúnde iúgiter.

Hic promereántur omnes
petíta acquírere
et adépta possidére
cum sanctis perénniter,
paradísum introíre
transláti in réquiem.


Christ, the cornerstone, was made  the foundation, who joined together the walls, which holy Zion received and in which she abides in confidence. The whole city, sacred to God and beloved by him, filled with music of praise and joyful song, with fervor proclaims  God, the three and one. Into this temple, O most high God, come and in your good mercy receive the requests of our prayers; here ever pour out your great blessing. Here may all be worthy to have their petitions answered and to possess what they ask and with the saints forever enter paradise and be taken into rest.
