    Friends, citizens, countrymen:

    Does anyone have access to the Offertory verses for Gloria et divitiae?
    The 1935 Offertoriale (available as a PDF) does not include them. SOS.

    The volume Simple English Propers gives the attached verses from Psalm 8 as the verses for the Offertory of the Transfiguration. You could find the analogous verses from the Vulgate and set them to Psalm-tone I (to match the mode of the antiphon).

    O Lord, our Lord, how majestic †
    is your name through all the earth! *
    Your majesty is set above the heavens.
    From the mouths of children and of babes †
    you fashioned praise to foil your enemy, *
    to silence the foe and the rebel.

    When I see the heavens, the work of your fingers, *
    the moon and the stars which you arranged,
    what is man that you should keep him in mind, *
    the son of man that you care for him?

    All of them, sheep and oxen, *
    yes, even the cattle of the fields,
    birds of the air, and fish of the sea *
    that make their way through the waters.
    O Lord, our Lord, how majestic *
    is your name through all the earth!

    Here's my easy suggestion, and with a Mode VI verse tune adapted.

    Thanks, RR.
    I was hoping to find the more melismatic, but these will do just fine.

    CGM, I think those are the verses ascribed to Gloria et honore, rather than the Old Rite offertory Gloria et divitiae.
  • I too need this, for Gloria et divitiae
