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.

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.
