太初第一天 PRIMO dierum omnium, First of All Days 本首聖詩歸於教宗大聖格里高利（Pope St. Gregory the Great, 540-604）名下，并且有充足的证据证明了这一点。在圣高隆邦所著「Altus prosator」的序言之中，描述了圣格里高利的使者带来了礼物和一套时辰日课的圣诗。然后，圣高隆邦也将自己所写的一套圣诗送给了圣格里高利。到底是格里高利真的写了这首圣诗，还是只是寄来当时罗马流行的圣诗，近来有很多的争论，两种观点都有大量的证据。 传统上，本首圣诗是用于冬令时的主日的夜禱（Matins）。在新礼，被用于时辰日课之中，常年期的第一周和第三周主日的诵读日课。下面是完整的聖詩。而在时辰日课之中，只是用了前四句，以及不同的结束句。在罗马日课经（the Roman Breviary）之中，圣诗被大幅度修改，并且被改为：「Primo die, quo Trinitas」。 拉丁文及其中譯 拉丁文 拉丁中译 PRIMO dierum omnium,quo mundus exstat conditusvel quo resurgens conditornos, morte victa, liberat. 暫缺 Pulsis procul torporibus,surgamus omnes ocius,et nocte quaeramus pium,sicut Prophetam novimus. 暫缺 Nostras preces ut audiatsuamque dexteram porrigat,et hic piatos sordibus 1reddat polorum sedibus, Ut quique sacratissimohuius diei temporehoris quietis psallimus,donis beatis muneret. 暫缺 Iam nunc, Paterna claritas,te postulamus affatim:absit libido sordidans,omnisque actus noxius. 暫缺 Ne foeda sit, vel lubricacompago nostri corporis,per quam averni ignibusipsi crememur acrius. 暫缺 Ob hoc, Redemptor, quæsumus,Ut probra nostra diluas:Vitæ perennis commodaNobis benignus conferas. 暫缺 Quo carnis actu exsuleseffecti ipsi caelibes,ut praestolamur cernui,melos canamus gloriae. 暫缺 Praesta, Pater, piissime,Patrique compar Unice,cum Spiritu Paraclitoregnans per omne saeculum. 暫缺 英文及其中譯 英文 英文中译 THIS first day of the week saw earth From utter darkness first have birth;This day its Maker rose again, And vanquished death, and burst our chain. 初开天地已见神威，万物欣然主手轻挥。复活之时曙光照耀，超越死寂温安慰随。 Begone with slumbering, slothful ease! Raise we ourhearts and bend our knees! Heed we the Psalms’prophetic call To seek betimes the Lord of all! 快将惰性尽抛云外， 群心齐力共向朝晖。夜深迷途切寻慈父，先知早已把真言归。 And so we plead for what we crave: That God stretch forth his hand to save, And, purging out each sinful stain, Restore us to our home again. 愿主垂怜细听我诉，拯救众生尽脱忧苦。洗净污垢令身心洁，引领天国步步稳驻。 Assembled for a holy day, This holy Hour we raise the lay; And O that he to whom we sing May now reward our offering! 今日圣会虔敬主前，虔心赞美歌声绵绵。 愿主恩泽犹如江水， 浩荡不息广泽福延。 O Father of unclouded light, We pray thee, kneeling in thy sight, From all defilement to be freed, And every sinful act and deed. 天父荣光愿普照耀， 扫清邪念无处藏扰。 远离罪恶心自常洁， 正道坦途万里相邀。 We pray that this our imortal frame May know no sin, and fear no shame, Whereby the fires of hell may rise To torture us in fiercer wise. 愿守清身永离淫邪， 免坠地狱熊火焰烈。 求主护佑身魂安稳，天堂福祉永结心头。 We therefore, Saviour, cry to thee.

Praeco diei iam sonat, noctis profundae pervigil, nocturna lux viantibus a nocte noctem segregans.1 晨雞報曉， 旭日東方出， 給夜行人一線光亮， 宛如守夜的更夫。 Lo! Chanticleer proclaims each day, And calls the sun’s awakening ray To be the pilgrim’s guiding light, And mark the watches night by night. Hoc excitatus lucifer solvit polum caligine, hoc omnis erronum chorus2 vias nocendi deserit. 晨星初現， 黑暗即將消除， 流浪的人羣， 不再誤入迷途。 Roused at the note, the morning star Heaven’s dusky veil uplifts afar; Night’ss vagrant bands no longer roam, But from their dark ways hie them home. Hoc nauta vires colligit pontique mitescunt freta, hoc ipsa petra ecclesiae canente culpam diluit. 雞鳴再起時， 航海者重新振作， 風浪逐漸平復； 教會的盤石聖伯多祿， 懺悔痛哭。 Encouraged sailors then no more Do fear the raging billow’s roar; Lo! e’en the very Church’s Rock Melts at the crowing of the cock. Surgamus ergo strenue! Gallus iacentes excitat, et somnolentos increpat, Gallus negantes arguit. So daily let us ardent rise; The cock rebukes men’s slumbering eyes, Bestirs who still in sleep would lie, And shames who would their Lord deny. Gallo canente spes redit, aegris salus refunditur, mucro latronis conditur, lapsis fides revertitur. New hope his clarion note awakes, Sickness the feeble frame forsakes, The robber sheathes his lawless sword, Faith to the fallen is restored. Iesu, labantes respice, et nos videndo corrige, si respicis, lapsus cadunt,3 fletuque culpa solvitur. 耶穌，垂憐我罪人， 救我出迷途； 只要祢一回顧， 罪惡即將解除。 Look on us, Jesu, when we fall, And with thy look our souls recall; If thou but look, our sins are gone, And with due tears our pardon won. Tu lux refulge sensibus, mentisque somnum discute, te nostra vox primum sonet et ore psallamus tibi.4 祢是我的光明， 照耀我心神， 將惡夢驅除； 我要詠詩讚頌上主。 Shed through our hearts thy piercing ray, Our souls’ dull slumber drive away; Thy Name be first on every tongue, To thee our earliest praise be sung. Sit, Christe, Rex piissime, tibi Patrique gloria cum Spiritu Paraclito, in sempiterna saecula. Amen. 基督，大慈大悲的君王， 與聖父聖神， 世世代代， 同享榮福。阿們。 *All laud to God the Father be; All praise, eternal Son, to thee; All glory, as is ever meet, To God the Holy Paraclete.
