Rerum Creátor póscimus,

Sis præsul ad custódiam.

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 tibi Dómine,
3. All glory, Lord, to you we pay,
Qui surrexísti a mórtuis,
Arisen from the dead, today;
Cum Patre et Sancto Spíritu,
With Father and the Spirit be
In sempitérna sǽcula.
All glory yours eternally.
Amen.
Amen.
