# Verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617), Vespers
# live query, 2029-12-27, the same clean date already used for lauds-capitulum-st-john-apostle.yml. This hymn's closing doxology stanza is seasonally variable in the source (tagged `{Doxology: NatT}`); what's captured here is whatever rendered live on the query date above, not a season-aware substitution -- same known-not-modeled gap as the Paschaltide alleluia suffix elsewhere (see TODO.md).

    Exsúltet cælum láudibus,
    Resúltet terra gáudiis:
    Apostolórum glóriam
    Sacra canunt solémnia.

    Vos sæcli justi júdices,
    Et vera mundi lúmina,
    Votis precámur córdium,
    Audíte preces súpplicum.

    Qui cælum verbo cláuditis,
    Serásque ejus sólvitis:
    Nos a peccátis ómnibus
    Sólvite jussu, quǽsumus.

    Quorum præcépto súbditur,
    Salus, et languor ómnium:
    Sanáte ægros móribus,
    Nos reddéntes virtútibus.

    Ut, cum Judex advénerit
    Christus in fine sǽculi,
    Nos sempitérni gáudii
    Fáciat esse cómpotes.

    Glória tibi, Dómine,
    Qui natus es de Vírgine,
    Cum Patre, et Sancto Spíritu,
    In sempitérna sǽcula.
    Amen.

    Now let the earth with joy resound,
    And heaven the chant re-echo round;
    Nor heaven nor earth too high can raise
    The great Apostles' glorious praise.

    O ye who, throned in glory dread,
    Shall judge the living and the dead,
    Lights of the world forevermore!
    To you the suppliant prayer we pour.

    Ye close the sacred gates on high;
    At your command apart they fly:
    Oh! loose for us the guilty chain
    We strive to break, and strive in vain.

    Sickness and health your voice obey;
    At your command they go or stay:
    From sin's disease our souls restore;
    In good confirm us more and more.

    So when the world is at its end,
    And Christ to judgement shall descend,
    May we be called those joys to see
    Prepared from all eternity.

    All honour, praise and glory be,
    O Jesu, Virgin-Born, to thee;
    All glory, as is ever meet,
    To Father, and to Paraclete.
    Amen.
