Hymnus

Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor,

Immótus in te pérmanens,

Lucis diúrnæ témpora

Succéssibus detérminans:

Largíre lumen véspere,

Quo vita nusquam décidat,

Sed prǽmium mortis sacræ

Perénnis instet glória.

Præsta, Pater piíssime,

Patríque compar Únice,

Cum Spíritu Paráclito

Regnans per omne sǽculum.

Amen.

O strength and stay upholding all creation,

Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,

Yet day by day the light in due gradation

From hour to hour through all its changes guide:

Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending,

An eve untouched by shadows of decay,

The brightness of a holy death-bed blending

With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.

Hear us, O Father, gracious and forgiving,

And thou, O Christ, the co-eternal Word,

Who, with the Holy Ghost, by all things living

Now and to endless ages art adored.

Amen.
