Saint John the Baptist is the titular Patron of the Primatial Cathedral Church of Lyons, France. The Missal proper to the Patriarchal See of Lyons, therefore, has a proper Preface for the Feasts of the same glorious Precursor of Our Lord.

Here is the text, taken from the Missale Romanum in quo antiqui ritus Lugdunenses servatur Apostolicæ Sedis auctoritate recognitum et probatum (Lyons: Typis Emmanuel Vitte, 1956), approved by authority of His Eminence Pierre Marie Cardinal Gerlier, Archbishop of Lyons and Vienna, and Primate of Gaul (29th of June, 1953):

Here is a loose vernacular translation:

Quote

Truly is it worthy and just, becoming and healthful, that we should ever and everywhere make thanksgiving unto Thee, O holy Lord, Father almighty, eternal God:

And to collaud Thy magnificence in the day of the festivity of blessed John the Baptist; who, not yet having been brought forth, hath perceived the voice of the Mother of the Lord, and, yet enclosed in the womb of [his] mother, hath announced the coming of the Salvation of man in the midst of prophetic joyous leaping: who, being conceived, hath taken away the sterility of [his] mother, and, being born, hath loosened the tongue of [his] father, and, alone amongst all the Prophets who had foretold the Redeemer of the world, hath shown forth Jesus Christ our Lord. Through Whom Thy majesty is praised by the Angels, adored by the Dominations, feared by the trembling Powers: and co-celebrated by the celestial Virtues of heaven and by the beatified Seraphim, united in the midst of rejoicing. With whom we pray that Thou mayest ordain our voices to be admitted, in suppliant confession saying:

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth. The heavens and the earth are replenished with Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who cometh in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

Here is the solemn chant for this Preface:

May we have the courage to give witness to the Gospel the way that John the Baptist did.
