(but you'll have to sing them yourself)

Te lucis ante terminum,
Rerum creator, poscimus,
Ut solita clementia
Sis praesul ad custodiam.

Before the ending of the day
Creator of the world we pray
That you, with endless love would keep
Your watch around us while we sleep

From evil dreams defend our sight
From fears and terrors of the night
From all deluding thoughts that creep
Within our minds disarmed by sleep.

Come heal our wounds, restore our health
In tired limbs renew our strength,
We see the gloom of this dark night
Illuminated by your light

O Father, that we ask be done
Through Jesus Christ your only Son
And Holy Spirit, by whose breath
Our souls are raised to life from death.

Protect us, Father, God adored,
And with your precious Son, Our Lord,
And Holy Spirit, Advocate
Your reign will know no ending date.


Te corda nostra somnient,
Te per soporem sentiant,
Tuamque semper gloriam
Vicina luce concinant.
