    Ætérna cæli glória,
    Beáta spes mortálium,
    Celsi Tonántis Únice,
    Castǽque proles Vírginis:

    Da déxteram surgéntibus,
    Exsúrgat et mens sóbria,
    Flagrans et in laudem Dei
    Grates repéndat débitas.

    Ortus refúlget Lúcifer,
    Sparsámque lucem núntiat:
    Cadit calígo nóctium:
    Lux sancta nos illúminet.

    Manénsque nostris sénsibus,
    Noctem repéllat sǽculi,
    Omníque fine diéi
    Purgáta servet péctora.

    Quæsíta jam primum fides
    Radícet altis sénsibus:
    Secúnda spes congáudeat,
    Qua major exstat cáritas.

    Deo Patri sit glória,
    Ejúsque soli Fílio,
    Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
    Et nunc, et in perpétuum.
    Amen.

    O Christ, whose glory fills the heaven,
    Our only hope, in mercy given;
    Child of a Virgin meek and pure;
    Son of the Highest evermore:

    Grant us thine aid thy praise to sing,
    As opening days new duties bring;
    That with the light our life may be
    Renewed and sanctified by thee.

    The morning star fades from the sky,
    The sun breaks forth; night’s shadows fly:
    O Thou, true Light, upon us shine:
    Our darkness turn to light divine.

    Within us grant thy light to dwell;
    And from our souls dark sins expel;
    Cleanse thou our minds from stain of ill,
    And with thy peace our bosoms fill.

    To us strong faith forever give,
    With joyous hope, in thee to live;
    That life’s rough way may ever be
    Made strong and pure by charity.

    All laud to God the Father be,
    All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
    All glory, as is ever meet,
    To God the holy Paraclete,
    Amen.
