O lux beata Trinitas Et principalis Unitas, Iam sol recedit igneus, Infunde lumen cordibus. Te mane laudum carmine, Te deprecemur vesperi, Te nostra supplex gloria, Per cuncta laudet saecula. Deo Patri sit gloria, Eiusque soli Filio, Cum Spiritu Paraclito, Et nunc et in perpetuum. Amen.

O blessed light and Trinity And first Unity, Already the fiery sun is sinking, Pour light into our hearts. We shall praise you in the morning with songs of praises, We shall praise you in the evening, You our submissive glory Will praise through all ages. Glory be to the Father God And to his only Son With the Spirit, the advocate, Both now and for ever. Amen.
