chanting the introit in Epiphania Domini which beginneth Surge, illuminare   (Latin) The Introit is the entrance chant in the Roman Rite of the Latin Tridentine Mass, which was still in use in the Catholic Church in 1904. Epiphania Domini (The Epiphany of Our Lord) is the Mass for the Epiphany of Our Lord, which fell on 6 January. The introit, however, does not begin with the words Surge, illuminare. Those are the opening words of the Lesson (First Reading), which is Isaiah 60:1-6:

It is sung after the Lesson (First Reading) and before the Sequence. In the Mass for the Feast of the Epiphany, the Gradual is based on Isaiah 60:6, 1 and Matthew 2:2:

Adiutorium nostrum in nomine Domini   (Latin) Our help is in the name of the Lord. See the following page.
