DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona 4 ad Laudes

Advent III (Gaudete) - Lauds Antiphon 4

"Montes et omnes colles humiliabuntur" (Mountains and all hills shall be brought low) from Isaias 40:4 and Luke 3:5 describes the Baptist's ministry preparing the Lord's way. The geographic leveling figures moral preparation. The refrain "Veni, Domine, et noli tardare" (Come, Lord, and delay not) voices Advent's central petition.

LATINE
Montes et omnes colles humiliabuntur: et erunt prava in directa, et aspera in vias planas: veni, Domine, et noli tardare, alleluja.
ENGLISH
Mountains and hills shall be brought low: the crooked paths shall be made straight, and the rough ways smooth: come, O Lord, and delay not, alleluia.
