I’ve learned the first verse by heart, so now I must work on learning the second verse so that I can sing it in its entirety.

Pretty ambitious. I've listened to this dozens and dozens of times and can barely remember the first verse. I think there's something wrong with me lol. The trick is remembering the melody more than the words....but that, too.

It took practicing it over and over, section by section, for me to finally memorize it. I found that listening to a recording while following along with the music helps a lot. Just make sure that the recording matches the music you have, since there can be some variations among transcriptions of the chant. If you find a version of the music that says "Solesmes," a recording of Benedictine monks or nuns should match your music.
