Hymnus
1. Te lucis ante términum,
1. Before the end of the day
Rerum Creátor póscimus,
Creator of the world, we pray
Ut solíta cleméntia
that with your desired favor,
Sis præsul ad custódiam.
you would be our protector and guard.
2. Procul recédant sómnia,
2. From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
Et nóctium phantásmata,
and the phantoms of night,
Hostémque nostrum cómprime,
and restrain our enemy,
Ne polluántur córpora.
that our bodies may not be polluted.
3. Glória Patri Dómino,
3. All praise be thine, O risen Lord,
Natóque qui a mórtuis
From death to endless life restored;
Surréxit, ac Paráclito,
Whom with the Father we adore,
In sæculórum sǽcula.
And Holy Ghost, for evermore.
Amen.
Amen.
