Hymn

Doctrinam Evangelicam

He spread abroad the Gospel sound

Even to earth’s remotest bound,

And with his new-formed ranks subdued

And banished heresy’s false brood.

He was the well-spring from whose tide

Swelled the rich river, deep and wide,

A living flood still rolling forth Its healing waters through the earth.

Unto the sacred One and Three Praise, honor, strength and glory be

And may He grand our souls to rise

Through Dominic’s pleading to the skies. Amen.

From Psalm 23

The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof;

The world and all that dwell therein.

For He hath founded it upon the seas:

And upon the floods hath He prepared it.

Who shall go up to the mountain of the Lord:

Or who shall stand in His holy place?

The innocent of hands, and the clean of heart,

Who hath not taken his soul in vain,

Nor sworn in guile unto his neighbor.

Glory be to the Father, etc.

Anthem

Fulget in choro

A teacher of the truth sincere,

He shines among the virgin choirs,

His brows the double garlands wear

Of doctrine pure and chaste desires.

Little Chapter Mal. II, 6

The law of truth was in his mouth, and iniquity was not found on his lips; he walked with Me in peace and justice, and turned many from iniquity.

R. Thanks be to God.

V. When touched by death We yield our breath,

R. O come and take us to the sky.

V. And even now, Great father, show we walk beneath thy watchful eye.

R. O come and take us to the sky.

V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

R. When touched by death We yield our breath, O come and take us to the sky.

V. The mouth of the just man shall speak wisdom.

R. And his tongue shall utter judgement.

Let us pray

Grant, we beseech Thee, Almighty God, that we who are weighed down with the burden of our sins may be relieved by the intercession of our blessed father Dominic, Thy confessor. Through our Lord Jesus Christ Thy Son, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, world without end. Amen.

V. O Lord, hear my prayer.

R. And let my cry come unto Thee.

V. Father, keep thy gracious word,

R. Pleading for us with our Lord.
