- - - - Lucis Creator Optime (Hymne)

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

Qui mane iunctum vesperi
diem vocari praecipis :
taetrum chaos illabitur ;
audi preces cum fletibus.

---

Good God, you created the light,
you gave the days their light,
and, in the new light,
you started the universe.

You who prescribe to call day
the morning that follows the evening,
when the darkness reaches us,
hear our tears and our prayers.
