Antiphon A (From the Office of Dawn)

(From the Office of Dawn)

ἐν τῷ θλίβεσθαί με, εἰσάκουσόν μου τῶν ὀδυνῶν

I In mine affliction, Lord, My cry went up to Thee, And to my sorrowing heart, Thou gav'st Thy mercy free.

II When life is parched and dry, Refreshing streams appear, And earth's vain sounds are dead To my enchanted ear.

III To Holy Ghost be praise, To Father and to Son: Almighty Trinity, While endless ages run.
