Hymns from the Roman Breviary

Breviarium Romanum

Alphabetical index of all Latin Hymns on this website. Many of them were traditionally used in the Roman Breviary. Prior to the reforms introduced by Paul VI in 1974, the Breviarium Romanum (1962) was the approved version of the Office used throughout the Church. It was prayed or sung in Latin and was itself the result of numerous revisions throughout the centuries. A number of the hymns selected for the Liturgy of the Hours (Divine Office) are English translations from the original Latin, and thus represent a degree of continuity with the Roman Breviary. Where possible I have presented both the the original Latin text and audio/video performance along with it's English translation.
