Antiphona

Title text

Dum medium silentium tenerent omnia,
et nox in suo cursu medium iter haberet
omnipotens sermo tuus, Domine,
de caelis a regalibus sedibus venit.
As all things were contained within silence,
and the course of the night had reached its middle,
your word, O Lord,
descended from heaven, from its royal throne.
Translation: Dr. Kate Helsen, London, Ontario, Canada
