Ales diei nuntius (Prudentius)

Latinam Ales diei nuntius lucem propinquam praecinit; nos excitator mentium iam Christus ad vitam vocat. "Auferte - clamat - lectulos aegros, soporos, desides; castique, recti ac sobrii vigilate; iam sum proximus". Ut, cum coruscis flatibus aurora caelum sparserit, omnes labore exercitos confirmet ad spem luminis, Iesum ciamus vocibus flentes, precantes, sobrii; intenta supplicatio dormire cor mundum vetat. Tu, Christe, somnum disice, tu rumpe noctis vincula, tu solve peccatum vetus novumque lumen ingere. Sit, Christe, rex piisime, tibi Patrique gloria cum Spiritu Paraclito, in sempiterna saecula. Amen.	English The winged messenger of the day the approaching daylight, he foretells; us, the Rouser of minds now Christ to life calls. Take up - He cries out - your beds the sick, the sleepy, the sluggish; and ye chaste, upright and sobre keep watch; now I am near. That, with flashing blasts, the dawn may strew the heavens, may it confirm by the hope of light all those who have been working with toil, Let us call Jesus with voices weeping, entreating, sobre; the intense supplication prevents the pure heart to sleep. Thee, Christ, dispel the sleep, Thee, break the chains of night, Thee, undo the ancient sin and the new light, pour in. May it be, O Christ, King most loving, and to Thee, Father: Glory with the Spirit Paraclete, in everlasting ages. Amen.
