    Imménse cæli Cónditor,
    Qui mixta ne confúnderent,
    Aquæ fluénta dívidens,
    Cælum dedísti límitem.

    Firmans locum cæléstibus,
    Simúlque terræ rívulis;
    Ut unda flammas témperet,
    Terræ solum ne díssipent.

    Infúnde nunc, piíssime,
    Donum perénnis grátiæ:
    Fraudis novæ ne cásibus
    Nos error átterat vetus.

    Lucem fides invéniat:
    Sic lúminis jubar ferat:
    Ut vana cuncta próterat:
    Hanc falsa nulla cómprimant.

    O great Creator of the sky,
    Who wouldest not the floods on high
    With earthly waters to confound,
    But mad'st the firmament their bound;

    The floods above thou didst ordain;
    The floods below thou didst restrain:
    That moisture might attemper heat,
    Lest the parched earth should ruin meet.

    Upon our souls, good Lord, bestow
    Thy gift of grace in endless flow:
    Lest some renewed deceit or wile
    Of former sin should us beguile.

    Let faith discover heav'nly light;
    So shall its rays direct us right:
    And let this faith each error chase,
    And never give to falsehood place.
