Rorate caeli desuper et nubes pluant justum.
Aperiatur terra, et germinet Salvatorem:
Verse (Ps. 84:8, different than that for the fourth Sunday in Advent)
Ostende nobis Domine misericordiam tuam
Et salutare tuum da nobis:
Veni Domine et noli tardare.

English.png English translation

Drop down ye heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness:
Let the earth open and bring forth a Savior.
Show us your mercy, O Lord,
And grand us your salvation:
Come, Lord, and do not delay.
