Christe, qui, splendor et dies, noctis tenébras détegis, lucísque lumen créderis, lumen beátis prædicans, Precámur, sancte Dómine, hac nocte nos custódias; sit nobis in te réquies, quiétas horas tríbue. Somno si dantur óculi, cor semper ad te vígilet; tuáque dextra prótegas fidéles, qui te díligunt. Defénsor noster, áspice, insidiántes réprime, gubérna tuos fámulos, quos sánguine mercátus es. Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória, cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sempitérna sæcula. Amen. Christ, thou who art the light and day, Who chasest nightly shades away, Thyself the Light of Light confessed, And promiser of radiance blest: O holy Lord, we pray to thee, Throughout the night our guardian be; In thee vouchsafe us to repose, All peaceful till the night shall close. O let our eyes due slumber take, Our hearts to thee forever wake: And let thy right hand from above Shield us who turn to thee in love. O strong defender, hear our prayers, Repel our foes and break their snares, And govern thou thy servants here, Those ransomed with thy life-blood dear. Almighty Father, this accord Through Jesus Christ, thy Son our Lord, Who with the Holy Ghost and thee Doth reign through all eternity. Amen. |
