O lux beata Trinitas<br>
Et principalis Unitas,<br>
Iam sol recedit igneus,<br>
Infunde lumen cordibus.
 
Te mane laudum carmine,<br>
Te deprecemur vesperi,<br>
Te nostra supplex gloria,<br>
Per cuncta laudet saecula.
 
Deo Patri sit gloria,<br>
Eiusque soli Filio,<br>
Cum Spiritu Paraclito,<br>
Et nunc et in perpetuum.<br>
Amen.
 
{{Translation|English}}
'''First translation'''
 
''
O Trinity, blessed light<br>
And principal Unity,<br>
Now that the fiery sun recedes,<br>
Pour thy light into our hearts.
 
Thee we praise with song in the morning,<br>
Thee we beseech in the evening,<br>
Thee let our suppliant glory praise<br>
Through all ages.
 
To God the Father be glory,<br>
And to his only Son,<br>
With the Spirit, the Paraclete,<br>
Both now and forever. Amen.
 
(translation provided by William Mahrt)
''
 
'''Second translation'''
 
''
O Trinity of blessed light,<br>
And princely unity,<br>
The fiery sun already sets,<br>
Shed thy light within our hearts.
 
To thee in the morning with songs of praise,<br>
And in the evening we pray,<br>
Thy glory suppliant we adore,<br>
Throughout all ages for ever.
 
Glory be to God the Father,<br>
To his only Son,<br>
With the Holy Spirit<br>
Now and for ever. Amen.
