St. Peter Damian: HYMNVS SANCTAE MARIAE AD VESPERVM.







1. Sidus, Maria, splendidum,
Te laudat omne saeculum,
Ex qua sub mundi uespere
Sol ortus est iustitiae.

2. Da cor tenebris eripi,
Da uera luce perfrui,
Quae noctem uitae ueteris
Nouis illustret meritis.

3. Per te purgemur uitiis,
Soluamur culpae uinculis,
Mens uulsis spinis eruta
Virtutum ferat germina.

4. Gloria tibi, Domine

O Mary, shining star, every age praises you, from you arises the Sun of Justice, in the evening of the world. Grant that our hearts be rescued from darkness, grant that we enjoy true light, which shines with new merits on the night of our old life. Through you may sins be purged, the chains of guilt be loosened, May our souls be weeded from thorns, that the seed of the virtues may flourish.
