Somno refectis artubus (Saec. VI-VII)

Meter: 8.8.8.8

Latinam

Somno refectis artubus,

spreto cubili, surgimus

nobis, Pater, canentibus

adesse te deposcimus.


Te lingua primum concinat,

te mentis ardor ambiat,

ut actuum sequentium

tu, sancte, sis exordium.


Cedant tenebrae lumini

et nox diurno sideri,

ut culpa, quam nox intulit,

lucis labascat munere.


Precamur idem supplices

noxas ut omnes amputes,

et ore te canentium

lauderis in perpetuum.


Praesta, Pater piisime,

Patrique compar Unice,

cum Spiritu Paraclito

regnans per omne saeculum. Amen.

English

With sleep, the limbs having been refreshed,

The bed having been spurned, we rise:

Come to us, Father, who are singing

To be near Thee, we ask earnestly.
