# Verified against Divinum Officium (Monastic Tridentinum 1617), 2026-08-25
# run. "Te lucis ante terminum" — only 2 body stanzas (the doxology, its 3rd
# stanza, is stored separately since it varies by season — see
# compline-hymn-doxology-per-annum.yml and hours/hymn-doxology.ts, same
# mechanism as Prime's hymn).
#
# Monastic wording ("sólita"/"ad custódiam") differs slightly from the
# Roman "pro tua"/"et custódia" — this is the Monastic form.
#
# Lent has its own distinct 6-stanza hymn ("Christe, qui lux es et dies")
# rather than just a different doxology on this one — not modeled yet.

    Te lucis ante términum,
    Rerum Creátor, póscimus,
    Ut sólita cleméntia
    Sis præsul ad custódiam.

    Procul recédant sómnia,
    Et nóctium phantásmata;
    Hostémque nostrum cómprime,
    Ne polluántur córpora.

    Before the ending of the day,
    Creator of the world, we pray
    That with thy wonted favor thou
    Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

    From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
    From nightly fears and fantasies;
    Tread under foot our ghostly foe,
    That no pollution we may know.
