Hymnus
Jam lucis orto sídere,
Deum precémur súpplices,
Ut in diúrnis áctibus
Nos servet a nocéntibus.
Linguam refrénans témperet,
Ne litis horror ínsonet:
Visum fovéndo cóntegat,
Ne vanitátes háuriat.
Sint pura cordis íntima,
Absístat et vecórdia;
Carnis terat supérbiam
Potus cibíque párcitas.
Ut, cum dies abscésserit,
Noctémque sors redúxerit,
Mundi per abstinéntiam
Ipsi canámus glóriam.
Deo Patri sit glória,
Ejúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
Nunc et per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Now that the sun has risen,
Let us humbly pray to God,
That in our daily actions
He may keep us from all harm.
May he hold back and bridle the tongue,
Lest the din of strife ring out:
May he guard the eyes with care,
Lest they drink in vanities.
Let the depths of the heart be pure,
And let folly be far away;
May sparing use of food and drink
Curb the pride of the flesh.
That when the day shall pass away
And fortune bring back the night,
Pure through abstinence,
We may ourselves sing his glory.
To God the Father be glory,
And to his only Son,
With the Spirit the Paraclete,
Now and through every age.
Amen.
