Latinam Consors paterni luminis, lux ipse lucis et dies, noctem canendo rumpimus: assiste postulantibus. Aufer tenebras mentium, fuga catervas daemonum, expelle somnolentiam ne pigritantes obruat. Sic, Christe, nobis omnibus indulgeas credentibus ut prosit exorantibus quod praecinentes psallimus. Sit, Christe, rex piisime, tibi Patrique gloria cum Spiritu Paraclito, in sempiterna saecula. Amen.

English The Sharer of the Father's light, He the light of light and the day, the night, with singing, we break: attend to the petitioning. Take away the darkness of the minds, put to flight the swarms of demons, expel somnolence may it not overwhelm the indolent. Thus, Christ, to all of us may Thou be indulgent to believers, that it may profit those imploring what we sing with psalms. May it be, O Christ, king most loving, and to Thee Father, Glory with the Spirit Paraclete, in every age. Amen.
