Splendore mane illuminas,
Et ignibus meridiem:

Brightening the morn with golden gleams,
Kindling the noon-day's fiery beams:

Exstingue flammas litium,
Aufer calorem noxium,
Confer salutem corporum,
Veramque pacem cordium.

Quench Thou in us the flames of strife,
From passion's heat preserve our life,
Our bodies keep from perils free,
And give our souls true peace in Thee.

Præsta, Pater piissime,
Patrique compar Unice,
Cum Spiritu Paraclito
Regnans per omne sæculum.
Amen.

Almighty Father, hear our cry
Through Jesus Christ our Lord most High,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and Thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen.

4.

THE NINTH HOUR. NONE.

RERUM, Deus, tenax vigor,
Immotus in te permanens,
Lucis diurnæ tempora
Successibus determinans:

Largire lumen vespere,
Quo vita nusquam decidat;
Sed præmium mortis sacræ
Perennis instet gloria.

Præsta, Pater piissime,
Patrique compar Unice,

O GOD, creation's secret force,
Thyself unmov'd, all motion's source,
Who, from the morn till evening's ray,
Through all its changes guid'st the day:

Grant us, when this short life is past,
The glorious evening that shall last:
That, by a holy death attain'd,
Eternal glory may be gain'd.

O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son;
