Vigil of the Epiphany - Comparison of Prayers

"The Adoration of the Magi" by Peter Paul Rubens

Note: A Vigil Mass for the Epiphany was not available in the Pauline Use until it was re-introduced in the 2002 Missale Romanum, so there is no I.C.E.L. translation for comparison.

Collect (Opening Prayer)

Official Latin from the 2002 Roman Missal
Orémus. Corda nostra, quaésumus, Dómine, tuæ maiestátis splendor illústret, quo mundi huius ténebras transíre valeámus, et perveniámus ad pátriam claritátis ætérnæ.
Per Dóminum nostrum Iesum Christum, Fílium tuum, qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti, Deus, per ómnia saécula sæculórum.

Let us pray. May the splendor of Your majesty illumine our hearts, we beseech You, O Lord, which may make us prevail to pass through the darkness of this world, and come to the homeland of eternal light.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, You Son, Who lives and reigns with You, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God, forever and ever.

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:
