Hymnus

Iam 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,
Eiúsque soli Fílio,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito,
Nunc et per omne sǽculum.
Amen.

Now in the sun's new dawning ray,
Lowly of heart, our God we pray
That he from harm may keep us free
In all the deeds this day shall see.

May fear of him our tongues restrain,
Lest strife unguarded speech should stain:
His favouring care our guardian be,
Lest our eyes feed on vanity.

May every heart be pure from sin
And folly find no place therein:
Scant need of food, excess denied,
Wear down in us the body's pride.

That when the light of day is gone,
And night in course shall follow on.
We, free from cares the world affords,
May chant the praise that is our Lord's.

All laud to God the Father be,
All praise, Eternal Son, to thee:
All glory, as is ever meet,
To God the holy Paraclete.
Amen.

The Seventeenth of December

At Rome, the birth of Saint John of Matha, Priest and Confessor, who was the Founder of the Order of the Most Holy Trinity for the Redemption of Captives. His feast, however, by the arrangement of Pope Innocent XI, is celebrated on the sixth of the Ides of February.
At Marseilles, in Gaul, blessed Lazarus the Bishop, brother of the holy Mary Magdalene and Martha, whom the Lord is read in the Gospel to have called his friend and raised from the dead.
At Eleutheropolis, in Palestine, the holy Martyrs Florian, Calanicus, and fifty-eight Companions; who, in the time of the Emperor Heraclius, were killed by the Saracens for the faith of Christ.
In the monastery of Fulda, Saint Sturm, Abbot and Apostle of Saxony; whom Pope Innocent II enrolled in the number of the Saints at the Second Lateran Council.
At Bigards, near Brussels, in Brabant, Saint Wivina the Virgin, whose outstanding holiness frequent miracles attest.
At Constantinople, Saint Olympias the Widow.
At Andenne, near the Seven Churches, in Belgium, blessed Begga the Widow, who was the sister of Saint Gertrude.
On the same day, the Translation of Saint Ignatius, Bishop and Martyr; who, third after the blessed Apostle Peter, governed the Church of Antioch. His body was brought from the city of Rome, where he himself had gloriously completed his martyrdom under Trajan on the thirteenth day before the Kalends of January, to Antioch, and was there placed in the cemetery of the Church outside the Daphnic gate; at which celebration Saint John Chrysostom gave an address to the people. Afterward, however, his relics were translated back to Rome, and with the greatest veneration enshrined in the church of Saint Clement, together with the body of that same most blessed Pope and Martyr.
