Rector potens, verax Deus, qui témperas rerum vices, splendóre mane ínstruis et ígnibus merídiem.
O God of truth, O Lord of might Who orderest time and change aright, Who send’st the early morning ray, And lightest the glow of perfect day:
Exstíngue flammas lítium, aufer calórem nóxium, confer salútem córporum verámque pacem córdium.
Extinguish Thou each sinful fire, And banish every ill desire; And while Thou keep’st the body whole, Shed forth Thy peace upon the soul.
Præsta, Pater piíssime, Patríque compar Unice, cum Spíritu Paráclito regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.
Almighty Father, hear our cry, Through Jesus Christ, our Lord most High, Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee, Doth live and reign eternally.
