The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper)
(Ps 83: 4,5): Passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum, ubi
reponat pullos suos; altaria tua Domine virtutum, Rex meus,
et Deus meus; beati qui habitant in domo tua, in saeculum
saeculi laudabunt te (The sparrow has found herself a home,
and the turtledove a nest in which to lay her young; at your
altars, O Lord of hosts, my King and my God! Blessed are they
who dwell in your house, they shall praise you for ever and ever).
