Latinam Fulgentius auctor aetheris, qui lunam lumen noctibus, solem dierum cursibus certo fundasti tramite,
mundi nitor renascitur, novusque iam mentis vigor dulces in actus erigit.
dies relatus admonet, vultusque caeli blandior nostra serenat pectora.
declinet prava spiritus, vitam facta non inquinent, linguam culpa non implicet;
fides profunda ferveat, spes ad promissa provocet, Christo coniungat caritas.
Patrique compar Unice, cum Spiritu Paraclito regnans per omne saeculum. Amen. |
English O Creator of the resplendent sky, Thou who are Light: the moon for the nights, the sun for the courses of the days Thou founded in a fixed track,
the world's brightness is reborn, and the new vigor of the mind now, into kind acts, rouses.
the day brought back admonishes, and the gentler vault of heaven lightens our hearts.
let the spirit decline depravity, let life, deeds not stain, let the tongue, fault not implicate;
let deep faith become fervent, let hope, towards the promises, provoke, let charity connect to Christ.
Grant this, Father most loving, and the only One equal to the Father, with the Spirit Paraclete reigning through every age. Amen. |
