# Live-verified (Monastic Tridentinum 1617, 2026-12-15, a plain ferial
# Tuesday) — "{ex Psalterio secundum tempora}" in the source, meaning this
# is itself one of several season-variable hymns rather than a true fixed
# year-round text; only this one (evidently the ordinary-time/per-annum
# form) is authored so far. Seasonal variants deferred (see TODO.md),
# same incremental-content pattern as everywhere else in this project.

    Somno reféctis ártubus,

    Spreto cubíli, súrgimus:

    Nobis, Pater, canéntibus

    Adésse te depóscimus.


    Te lingua primum cóncinat,

    Te mentis ardor ámbiat:

    Ut áctuum sequéntium

    Tu, Sancte, sis exórdium.


    Cedant tenébræ lúmini,

    Et nox diúrno síderi,

    Ut culpa, quam nox íntulit,

    Lucis labáscat múnere.


    Precámur iídem súpplices,

    Noxas ut omnes ámputes,

    Et ore te canéntium

    Laudéris in perpétuum.


    Præsta, Pater piíssime,

    Patríque compar Únice,

    Cum Spíritu Paráclito

    Regnans per omne sǽculum. Amen.

    Our limbs refreshed with slumber now,

    And sloth cast off, in prayer we bow;

    And while we sing thy praises dear,

    O Father, be thou present here.


    To thee our earliest morning song,

    To thee our hearts full powers belong;

    And thou, O Holy One, prevent

    Each following action and intent.


    As shades at morning flee away,

    And night before the star of day;

    So each transgression of the night

    Be purged by thee, celestial Light!


    Cut off, we pray thee, each offense,

    And every lust of thought and sense:

    That by their lips who thee adore

    Thou mayst be praised forevermore.


    Grant this, O Father ever One

    With Christ, thy sole-begotten Son,

    And Holy Ghost, whom all adore,

    Reigning and blest forevermore. Amen.
