Latin text

Lucis Creator optime
lucem dierum proferens
primordiis lucis novae
mundi parans originem.

Ne mens gravata crimine
vitae sit exsul munere
dum nil perenne cogitat
seseque culpis illigat.

Praesta, Pater piissime
Patrique compar Unice
cum Spiritu Paraclito
regnans per omne saeculum.

Qui mane junctum vesperi
Diem vocari praecipis:
Tetrum chaos illabitur
audi preces cum fletibus.

Coelorum pulset intimum
vitale tollat praemium
vitemus omne noxium
purgemus omne pessimum.
