# Verified against Divinum Officium ("Minor Special.txt", [Hymnus
# Completorium Quad]) — "Christe, qui lux es et dies", a complete
# alternate hymn (not just a different doxology) traditionally used at
# Compline during Lent. Self-contained: its own final stanza is already
# the standard doxology, so this isn't run through hymn-doxology.ts the
# way compline-hymn.yml is.
#
# No verified English translation exists in the local Divinum Officium
# dataset for this specific variant. Real 19th-century public-domain
# translations do exist (W. J. Copeland, 1848/1867, in Hymns Ancient and
# Modern; also Mrs. Rundle Charles 1858, W. Mercer 1864, R. F. Littledale
# 1867) but a complete, verbatim, accurately-sourced text of any of them
# wasn't findable — rather than reconstruct one from memory and risk
# misattributing invented wording to a real historical translator, the
# English below is a fresh, direct translation, marked "draft" (not
# "verified" like everything else in this project) for exactly that
# reason. Swap in a real historical translation instead if you track one
# down. The final stanza's translation is the exception — it's identical
# Latin to compline-hymn-doxology-per-annum.yml's own stanza, so that
# already-verified English is reused here.
#
# Also worth flagging: I could not get the reference engine to actually
# select this hymn for a Lenten date under Tridentine 1906 (it kept
# returning the standard "Te lucis ante terminum"), and found no code path
# that appends a seasonal suffix for Completorium's hymn at all — so this
# may be legacy/unused data in that particular engine rather than
# something it auto-selects. Wired in here as a deliberate editorial
# choice (the hymn and its Lenten use are independently well-attested),
# not a confirmed live behavior.

    Christe, qui lux es et dies,
    Noctis tenébras détegis,
    Lucísque lumen créderis,
    Lumen beátum prǽdicans.

    Precámur sancte Dómine,
    defénde nos in hac nocte:
    Sit nobis in te réquies,
    Quiétam noctem tríbue.

    Ne gravis somnus írruat,
    Nec hostis nos subrípiat,
    Nec caro illi conséntiens
    Nos tibi reos státuat.

    Oculi somnum cápiant,
    Cor ad te semper vígilet:
    Déxtera tua prótegat
    Fámulos, qui te díligunt.

    Defénsor noster áspice,
    Insidiántes réprime,
    Gubérna tuos fámulos,
    Quos Sánguine mercátus es.

    Meménto nostri, Dómine,
    In gravi isto córpore:
    Qui es defénsor ánimæ,
    Adésto nobis, Dómine.

    Præsta Pater omnípotens,
    Per Jesum Christum Dóminum,
    Qui tecum in perpétuum
    Regnat cum Sancto Spíritu.
    Amen.

    O Christ, who art the light and day,
    who dost dispel the darkness of night,
    and art believed to be the light of light,
    proclaiming blessed light.

    We beseech thee, holy Lord,
    defend us this night:
    let our rest be in thee alone,
    grant us a quiet night.

    Let not heavy sleep overtake us,
    nor let the enemy steal upon us;
    let not the flesh, consenting to him,
    render us guilty before thee.

    Let our eyes take their sleep,
    but let our heart keep watch for thee always:
    let thy right hand protect
    thy servants who love thee.

    Look upon us, our defender;
    restrain those who lie in wait;
    govern thy servants,
    whom thou hast purchased with thy Blood.

    Remember us, O Lord,
    in this burdened body:
    thou who art the defender of the soul,
    be present with us, O Lord.

    O Father, that we ask be done,
    Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
    Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
    Doth live and reign eternally.
    Amen.
