    Jam lucis orto sídere,
    Deum precémur súpplices,
    Ut in diúrnis áctibus
    Nos servet a nocéntibus.

    Linguam refrénans témperet,
    Ne litis horror ínsonet:
    Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
    Ne vanitátes háuriat.

    Sint pura cordis íntima,
    Absístat et vecórdia;
    Carnis terat supérbiam
    Potus cibíque párcitas.

    Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
    Noctémque sors redúxerit,
    Mundi per abstinéntiam
    Ipsi canámus glóriam.

    Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
    Lowly of heart, our God we pray
    That he from harm may keep us free
    In all the deeds this day shall see.

    May fear of him our tongues restrain,
    Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
    His favouring care our guardian be,
    Lest our eyes feed on vanity.

    May every heart be pure from sin
    And folly find no place therein:
    Scant need of food, excess denied,
    Wear down in us the body's pride.

    That when the light of day is gone,
    And night in course shall follow on.
    We, free from cares the world affords,
    May chant the praise that is our Lord's.
