- Da déxteram surgéntibus,
exsúrgat et mens sóbria
flagrans et in laudem Dei
grates repéndat débitas.
- Ortus refúlget lúcifer
ipsámque lucem núntiat,
cadit calígo nóctium,
lux sancta nos illúminet.
- Manénsque nostris sénsibus
noctem repéllat sǽculi,
omníque fine témporis
purgáta servet péctora.
- Quǽsita iam primum fides
radícet altis sénsibus,
secúnda spes congáudeat;
tunc maior exstat cáritas.
- Sit, Christe, rex piíssime,
tibi Patríque glória
cum Spíritu Paráclito,
in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

- Extend your right hand to those rising from sleep,
and let a sober mind rise up
and blazing into praise of God
may it repay its beloved debts.
- Dawn’s light-bearer glitters
and announces its own light,
night’s darkness falls back,
may a holy light illuminate us.
- Remaining within our senses,
may it cast out the night of this age,
and may it keep our hearts purified
until time draws nigh to its end.
- Now may the faith sought first
take root in our deep perceptions;
secondly may hope rejoice with it;
then may a greater charity stand forth.
- Glory to you and to the Father,
Christ, most tender king,
with the Spirit Paraclete,
into eternal ages. Amen.
