Latin text

O lux beata Trinitas
Et principalis Unitas,
Iam sol recedit igneus,
Infunde lumen cordibus.

Te mane laudum carmine,
Te deprecemur vesperi,
Te nostra supplex gloria,
Per cuncta laudet saecula.

Christum rogamus et Patrem,
Christi Patrisque Spiritum:
unum potens per omnia,
fove precantes, Trinitas.

English translation

O Trinity, blessed light
And principal Unity,
Now that the fiery sun recedes,
Pour thy light into our hearts.

Thee we praise with song in the morning,
Thee we beseech in the evening,
Thee let our suppliant glory praise
Through all ages.
