- Tu verus mundi lúcifer,
non is qui parvi síderis
ventúræ lucis núntius
angústo fulget lúmine,
- Sed toto sole clárior,
lux ipse totus et dies,
intérna nostri péctoris
illúminans
præcórdia.
- Evíncat mentis cástitas
quæ caro cupit árrogans,
sanctúmque puri córporis
delúbrum servet spíritus.
- Sit, Christe, rex piíssime,
tibi Patríque glória
cum Spíritu Paráclito,
in sempitérna sǽcula. Amen.

- You are the world’s true light bearer,
not this one, whose small star’s
announcement of the coming light
shines with a brief radiance,
- But brighter than the whole sun,
this complete light and day,
illuminates the entire breast
of our heart.
- May the mind’s chastity completely conquer
that which the the arrogant flesh craves,
and may the spirit of a pure heart
conserve a holy shrine.
- Glory to you and to the Father,
Christ, most blessed king,
with the Spirit Paraclete,
into eternal ages. Amen.
