Canite Tuba

Canite tuba in Sion, quia prope est dies Domini,

Ecce venit ad salvandum nos;

Erunt prava in directa, et a spera in vias planas.

Veni Domine et noli tardare.

Blow ye the trumpet in Sion, for the day of God now is near at hand.

See, he cometh, and will save us, he will make the crooked ways straight,

The rough places will he make plain.

Come then, O Lord, and do not tarry.
