Comparison of Prayers - Epiphany Vigil Mass

"Adoration of the Magi" by Rubens

This comparison is really not quite a comparison. Apparently in the Pauline Rite, the Vigil Mass of the Epiphany was done away with. However, in the 2002 revision of the Roman Missal, the Vigil Mass was reinstated, however, the prayers are different from the Tridentine Roman Missal. Therefore, there are no English translastions of these prayers. If you go to a Vigil Mass for Epiphany in English, you will just hear the prayers from the Epiphany Mass of the Day.

My translations may need to be tighented up a bit, this is the first time I have translated these, so they could probably use some tweaking. Any corrections or suggestions are appreciated.

The preface is the same as the Mass of the Day, so there is an I.C.E.L. translation for that. In the preface, I have decided to stick with the actual names of the choirs of Angels mentioned, ie "Thrones" and "Dominations," even though the helpful Lewis & Short has a translation of them as "angelic order" and "spiritual powers." I figure we are talking about the Angelic choirs, who have names, singing the Sanctus to God, so let's keep their names.

I also debated on whether to translate "gentes" as "gentiles" or "nations." I decided to go with "gentiles" since that seems a bit more appropriate to this feast. "Nations" sounds a bit modern and tends to lose the significance of Christ revealing himself to the non-Jews as represented in the Magi. However, in a broader sense, "nations" does work. But it does lose some of the beauty in my opinion.

Vere dignum et iustum est, æquum et salutáre, nos tibi semper et ubíque grátias ágere: Dómine, sancte Pater, omnípotens ætérne Deus:
Quia ipsum in Christo salútis nostræ mystérium hódie ad lumen géntium revelásti, et, cum in substántia nostræ mortalitátis appáruit, nova nos immortalitátis eius glória reparásti.

Father all-powerful and ever-living God, we do well always and everywhere to give you thanks.
Today you revealed in Christ your eternal plan of salvation and showed him as the light of all peoples. Now that his glory has shown among us you have renewed humanity in his immortal image.
Now, with angels and archangels, and the whole company of heaven, we sing the unending hymn of your praise:

For, today You revealed the Mystery of our salvation Itself in Christ as the Light of the gentiles, and, when He appeared in the substance of our mortality, You restored us with the new glory of His Immortality.
And so, with the Angels and Archangels, with the Thrones and the Dominations, and with all the host of the Heavenly army, we sing the hymn of Your Glory, saying without end:
