Vespera

Te lucis ante terminum

Te lucis ante terminum

Rerum creator poscimus

Ut solita clementia

Sis praesul ad custodium

Before the ending of the day

Creator of the world we pray

That with thy wonted favour thou

Would be our guard and keeper now

Keep me as the apple of an eye

Hide me under the shadow of thy wings

Keep me as the apple of an eye

Hide me, hide me, hide me

Hide me, hide me, hide me

The heaven soars with voices above

The skies resound the power of your love

The stars shine out your glorious light

Shine through our gloom and take us on high

Keep me as the apple of an eye

Hide me under the shadow of thy wings

Keep me as the apple of an eye

Hide me, hide me, hide me

Sancto Spiritu, rerum Creator
