Jam lucis orto sidere
IAM lucis orto sidere, Deum precemur supplices, ut in diurnis actibus nos servet a nocentibus. | NOW in the sun's new dawning ray, lowly of heart, our God we pray that He from harm may keep us free in all the deeds this day shall see. |
Linguam refrenans temperet, ne litis horror insonet, visum fovendo contegat, ne vanitates hauriat. | May fear of Him our tongues restrain, lest strife unguarded speech should stain: His favoring care our guardian be, lest our eyes feed on vanity. |
Sint pura cordis intima, absistat et vecordia: carnis terat superbiam potus cibique parcitas. | May every heart be pure from sin, and folly find no place therein: scant meed of food, excess denied, wear down in us the body's pride |
Ut cum dies abscesserit, noctemque sors reduxerit, mundi per abstinentiam ipsi canamus gloriam. | That when the light of day is gone, and night in course shall follow on, we, free from cares the world affords, may chant the praises that is our Lord's. |
Deo Patri sit gloria, eiusque soli Filio, cum Spiritu Paraclito, nunc et per omne saeculum. Amen. | All laud to God the Father be, all praise, Eternal Son, to Thee; |all glory, as is ever meet, to God the Holy Paraclete. Amen. |
