Text:
Te lucis ante terminum,
To you before the day's end,
Rerum Creator poscimus,
We pray, creator of all things,
Ut solita clementia
That by your clemency
Sis præsul ad custodiam.
You might be our grand keeper

Procul recedant somnia,
Put nightmares far from us,
Et noctium phantasmata;
And night terrors,
Hostemque nostrum comprime,
And restrain our enemies
Ne polluantur corpora.
That our bodies my not know pollution

Præsta, Pater omnipotens,
Grant this, Father almighty,
Per Iesum Christum Dominum,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Qui tecum in perpetuum
Who through all ages reigns
Regnat cum Sancto Spiritu. Amen.
With the Holy Spirit. Amen.
