- Tu, Trinitatis Unitas,
Orbem potenter quæ regis,
Attende laudis canticum,
Quod excubantes psallimus.
- Ortus refulget lucifer,
Præitque solem nuntius:
Cadunt tenebræ noctium:
Lux sancta nos illuminet.
- Deo Patri sit gloria,
Ejusque soli Filio,
Cum Spiritu Paraclito,
Nunc et per omne sæculum.
| - O Thou, who dost all nature sway,
Dread Trinity in Unity,
Accept the trembling praise we pay
To Thy eternal majesty.
- The star that heralds in the dawn
Is slowly fading in the skies;
The darkness melts—O Thou true Light,
Upon our darkened souls arise.
- To God the Father glory be,
And to the sole-begotten Son,
And Holy Ghost co-equally,
While everlasting ages run.
