DIVINUM OFFICIUM Antiphon

Antiphona 4 ad Laudes

Advent II - Lauds Antiphon 4

"Montes et colles cantabunt coram Deo laudem" (Mountains and hills shall sing praise before God) personifies creation rejoicing (Isaias 55:12). Trees clapping hands welcome the Dominator Dominus entering His eternal kingdom. This cosmic liturgy anticipates Christmas's universal celebration.

LATINE
Montes et colles cantabunt coram Deo laudem, et omnia ligna silvarum plaudent manibus: quoniam veniet Dominator Dominus in regnum aeternum, alleluja, alleluja.
ENGLISH
Mountains and hills shall sing forth praises before God, and all the trees of the forests shall clap their hands, because the Lord, the Ruler, will come into his eternal kingdom, alleluia, alleluia.
