Hymnus
Rector potens, verax Deus,
Qui témperas rerum vices,
Splendóre mane illúminas,
Et ígnibus merídiem:
Exstíngue flammas lítium,
Aufer calórem nóxium,
Confer salútem córporum,
Verámque pacem córdium.
Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Únice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sǽculum.
Amen.
Mighty and true God, our Ruler,
Who govern the changes of things,
With splendor you illumine the morning
And the noon with fires:
Quench the flames of strife,
Drive off harmful heat,
Bring health to our bodies
And true peace to our hearts.
Grant this, most loving Father,
And you, the Only-Begotten, equal to the Father,
With the Spirit the Paraclete,
Reigning through every age.
Amen.
