Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor,
Immótus in te pérmanens,
Lucis diúrnæ témpora
Succéssibus detérminans :

Largíre lumen véspere,
Quo vita nusquam décidat,
Sed præmium mortis sacræ
Perénnis instet glória.

*  Deo Patri sit glória,
Et Fílio, qui a mórtuis
Surréxit, ac Paráclito,
In sempitérna sæcula.  Amen.

O God, the world's sustaining force,
Thyself unmov'd, all motion's source,
Who from the morn till ev'ning's ray
Through all its changes guid'st the day:

O grant us light at eventide,
That life may unimpair'd abide,
And that a holy death may be
The door of immortality.

Easter Doxology
All praise be thine, O risen Lord,
From death to endless life restored;
