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				

Sancto Spiritu						

Sancto, Sancto Spiritu					



Te lucis ante terminum
