Tenebrae Responsories For Holy Saturday / In secundo nocturno: Responsorium IV: Recessit Pastor noster
Recessit pastor noster fons aquae vivae
(Our Shepherd is departed, the fount of living water,)
ad cuius transitum sol obscuratus est：
(At whose passing the sun was darkened,)
Nam et ille captus est, qui captivum tenebat primum hominem：
(For even he was made captive who was holding captive the first man.)
hodie portas mortis et seras pariter Salvator noster disrupit.
(Today the gates of death and their bars
as well our Savior has destroyed.)
Destruxit quidem claustra inferni
(Indeed He has destroyed the strongholds of the underworld)
et subvertit potentias diaboli.
(And he has overthrown the powers of the devil.)
