Noctem istam, quǽsumus, Dómine, benígnus illúmina, et ita fac in pace nos tuos fámulos obdormíre, ut læti ad novi diéi claritátem in tuo nómine suscitémur. Per Christum.
Light up this night, we pray to Thee, Lord, in Thy goodness, and send us, Thy faithful, into the peace of sleep, that in Thy name, in joy, we may rise unto the glory of a new day.
