    Cæli Deus sanctíssime,
    Qui lúcidas centrum poli
    Candóre pingis ígneo,
    Augens decóro lúmine:

    Quarto die qui flámmeam
    Solis rotam constítuens,
    Lunæ minístras órdinem,
    Vagósque cursus síderum:

    Ut nóctibus, vel lúmini
    Diremptiónis términum,
    Primórdiis et ménsium
    Signum dares notíssimum;

    Illúmina cor hóminum,
    Abstérge sordes méntium:
    Resólve culpæ vínculum:
    Evérte moles críminum.

    Præsta, Pater piíssime,
    Patríque compar Únice,
    Cum Spíritu Paráclito
    Regnans per omne sǽculum.
    Amen.

    O God, whose hand hath spread the sky,
    And all its shining hosts on high,
    And painting it with fiery light,
    Made it so beauteous and so bright:

    Thou, when the fourth day was begun,
    Didst frame the circle of the sun,
    And set the moon for ordered change,
    And planets for their wider range:

    To night and day, by certain line,
    Their varying bounds thou didst assign;
    And gav'st a signal, known and meet,
    For months begun and months complete.

    Enlighten thou the hearts of men:
    Polluted souls make pure again:
    Unloose the bands of guilt within:
    Remove the burden of our sin.

    Grant this, O Father, ever One
    With Christ thy sole-begotten Son,
    Whom, with the Spirit we adore,
    One God, both now and evermore.
    Amen.
