Latin text 2nda pars Rorate coeli desuper, et nubes pluant justum: aperiatur terra et germinet Salvatorem. (Isaiah 45:8) Ostende nobis, Domine, misericordiam tuam, et salutare tuum da nobis: veni Domine, et noli tardare. Alleluia.

English translation Part 2 Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above and let the clouds pour down righteousness: let the earth open and bring forth the Saviour. Show us thy mercy, O Lord, and grant us thy salvation: (Ps. 85:8) come, O Lord, and do not delay. Alleluia.
