Vidi aquam
Gregorian chant
Vidi aquam is the name of an antiphon, which may be sung before the Tridentine Mass on Sunday, or either before or at the beginning (in place of the Penitential Rite) of the Mass of Paul VI according to the 2002 rubrics.[1][2] It accompanies the Asperges, the ritual at the beginning of Mass where the celebrant sprinkles the congregation with baptismal water.
It is sung from Easter Sunday throughout the liturgical season of Eastertide until the feast of Pentecost.[3] It replaces the simpler antiphon Asperges me, which is used outside Eastertide.
