DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona 1 ad Laudes

Advent IV - Lauds Antiphon 1

"Canite tuba in Sion" (Sound the trumpet in Sion) from Joel 2:1 announces the Day of the Lord's proximity. Advent IV's urgency peaks: "prope est dies Domini" (the day is nigh). Yet the refrain promises salvation, not judgment. The double alleluia marks approaching Christmas joy.

LATINE
Canite tuba in Sion, quia prope est dies Domini: ecce veniet ad salvandum nos, alleluja, alleluja.
ENGLISH
Sound the trumpet in Sion, for the day of the Lord is nigh: behold, he will come to save us, alleluia, alleluia.
