Sub altáre Dei audívi - Holy Innocents No 2

R. Sub altáre / Dei audívi voces occisórum dicéntium: * Quare non deféndis sánguinem nostrum? † Et accepérunt divinum responsum: Adhuc sústinete módicum tempus, † donec impleátur númerus fratrum vestrórum.
V. Vidi sub altáre Dei ánimas interfectórum propter verbum Dei, et propter testimónium quod habébant, † et clamábant voce magna, dicéntes.
R. Quare non deféndis sánguinem nostrum? † Et accepérunt divinum responsum: Adhuc sústinete módicum tempus, † donec impleátur númerus fratrum vestrórum.
R. I heard under the altar the voices of them that were slain, saying: * How long dost Thou not avenge our blood? And it was said unto them from God Rest yet for a little season, until the number of your brethren be fulfilled.
V. I saw under the altar of God the souls of them that were slain for the Word of God, and for the testimony which they held, and they cried with a loud voice, saying:
R. How long dost Thou not avenge our blood? And it was said unto them from God Rest yet for a little season, until the number of your brethren be fulfilled.
