Hymnus
Consors patérni lúminis,
1. Partaker of the Father’s light,
Lux ipse lucis, et dies,
Light of light and day,
Noctem canéndo rúmpimus:
We interrupt the night with our singing:
Assíste postulántibus.
Help us as we pray.
2. Aufer ténebras méntium,
2. Take away the darkness of minds,
Fuga catérvas dǽmonum,
Put to flight the bands of demons,
Expélle somnoléntiam,
Repel our drowsiness,
Ne pigritántes óbruat.
Lest indolence overwhelm us.
3. Sic, Christe, nobis ómnibus
3. Thus, O Christ,
Indúlgeas credéntibus,
Forgive all of us who believe,
Ut prosit exorántibus,
That the praise
Quod præcinéntes psállimus.
We sing may profit us.
4. Præsta, Pater piíssime,
4. Grant it, O most compassionate Father,
Patríque compar Unice,
And Your Only Begotten equal to the Father,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Who with the Holy Spirit
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Reign for ever and ever.
Amen.
Amen.
