Through the Year. Wednesdays 2 and 4. Lauds.
| Fulgentis auctor aetheris, qui lunam lumen noctibus, solem dierum cursibus certo fundasti tramite Nox atra iam depellitur, mundi nitor renascitur, novusque iam mentis vigor dulces in actus erigit. Laudes sonare iam tuas dies relatus admonet, vultus caeli blandior nostra serenat pectora. Vitemus omne lubricum declinet prava spiritus, vitam facta non inquinent, linguam culpa non implicet; Sed, sol diem dum conficit, fides profunda ferveat, spes ad promissa provocet, Christo coniugat caritas. Praesta, Pater piissime, Patrique compar Unice, cum Spiritu Paraclito regnans per omne saeculum. Amen.. | Creator of the shining sky, Who made the lamps to shine on high, And set their ways: the moon for nights, The sun for days, to be their lights. Dark night is driven far away, Earth's splendor is reborn with day; New vigor makes our spirit strong For pleasant labors, all day long. The day, returning, prompts all men To make your praises sound again. The sky grows clearer; at the sight Our spirits, too, become more light. All harmful error let us flee, The soul ward off iniquity; No sinful deed our life defile, No guiltiness the tongue beguile. But, as the sun the new day starts, Let burning faith inflame our hearts; To future gifts let hope incite, And charity to Christ unite. O grant it, Father, only Son, And Holy Spirit with them one: The God we worship and adore, For ever and forevermore. Amen. |
