Hymnus
Ætérne rerum cónditor, noctem diémque qui regis, et témporum das témpora ut álleves fastídium,
Maker of all, eternal King Who day and night about dost bring: Who weary mortals to relieve, Dost in their times the seasons give:
Præco diéi iam sonat, noctis profúndæ pérvigil, noctúrna lux viántibus a nocte noctem ségregans.
Hoc excitátus lúcifer solvit polum calígine; hoc omnis errónum chorus vias nocéndi déserit.
Roused at the note, the morning star Heaven’s dusky veil uplifts afar: Night’s vagrant bands no longer roam, But from their dark ways hie them home.
Hoc nauta vires cólligit pontíque mitéscunt freta; hoc, ipse Petra Ecclésiæ, canénte, culpam díluit.
The encouraged sailor’s fears are o’er, The foaming billows rage no more: Lo! E’en the very Church’s Rock Melts at the crowing of the cock.
Iesu, labántes réspice et nos vidéndo córrige; si réspicis, lapsus cadunt fletúque culpa sólvitur.
Look on us, Jesu, when we fall, And with Thy look our souls recall: If Thou but look, our sins are gone, And with due tears our pardon won.
Tu, lux, refúlge sénsibus mentísque somnum díscute; te nostra vox primum sonet et vota solvámus tibi.
Shed through our hearts Thy piercing ray, Our souls’ dull slumber drive away: Thy Name be first on every tongue, To Thee our earliest praises sung.
Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.
To thee, O Christ, our gracious king, And to thy Father, glory be, Who with the Spirit Paraclete Forever reign in majesty.
