Jam sol recédit ígneus ;
Tu, lux perénnis, Unitas,
Nostris, beáta Trínitas,
Infúnde lumen córdibus.

Te mane laudum cármine,
Te deprecámur véspere ;
Dignéris ut te súpplices
Laudémus inter cælites.

Tibíque, Sancte Spíritus,
Sicut fuit, sit júgiter
Sæclum per omne glória.  Amen.

O Trinity of blessed light,
O Unity of princely might,
The fiery sun now goes his way,
Shed thou within our hearts thy ray.

To thee our morning song of praise,
To thee our evening prayer we raise;
Thy glory suppliant we adore,
For ever and for evermore.
