    Ales diéi núntius
    Lucem propínquam prǽcinit:
    Nos excitátor méntium
    Jam Christus ad vitam vocat.

    Auférte, clamat, léctulos,
    Ægro sopóre désides:
    Castíque, recti, ac sóbrii
    Vigiláte, jam sum próximus.

    Jesum ciámus vócibus,
    Flentes, precántes, sóbrii:
    Inténta supplicátio
    Dormíre cor mundum vetat.

    Tu, Christe, somnum díscute:
    Tu rumpe noctis víncula:
    Tu solve peccátum vetus,
    Novúmque lumen íngere.

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

    As the bird, whose clarion gay
    Sounds before the dawn is grey,
    Christ, who brings the spirit’s day,
    Calls us, close at hand:

    Wake! he cries, and for my sake,
    From your eyes dull slumbers shake!
    Sober, righteous, chaste, awake!
    At the door I stand!

    Lord, to thee we lift on high
    Fervent prayer and bitter cry:
    Hearts aroused to pray and sigh
    May not slumber more:

    Break the sleep of death and time,
    Forged by Adam’s ancient crime;
    And the light of Eden’s prime
    To the world restore!

    Unto God the Father, Son,
    Holy Spirit, Three in One,
    One in Three, be glory done,
    Now and evermore.
    Amen.
