Latin text

O lux beata Trinitas,
Et principalis unitas,
Iam sol recedat igneus,
Infunde lumen cordibus.

Te mane laudum carmine,
Te deprecemur vespere:
Te nostra supplex gloria
Per cuncta laudet sæcula.

Deo Patri sit gloria,
Eiusque soli Filio,
Cum Spiritu (Sancto) Paraclito,
Et nunc et in perpetuum.
