O strength and stay upholding all creation,
Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
Yet day by day the light in due gradation
From hour to hour through all its changes guide:

Immótus in te pérmanens,
Lucis diúrnæ témpora
Succéssibus detérminans:

O strength and stay upholding all creation,
Who ever dost thyself unmoved abide,
Yet day by day the light in due gradation
From hour to hour through all its changes guide:
Grant to life’s day a calm unclouded ending,
An eve untouched by shadows of decay,
The brightness of a holy death-bed blending
With dawning glories of th’ eternal day.
Largíre clarum véspere,
Quo vita nusquam décidat,
Sed prǽmium mortis sacræ
Perénnis instet glória.
Sit laus Patri, ac Paráclito,
Natóque Patris único
Nostræ dedit qui pródigus
Prétium salútis sánguinem.
Amen

Psalm 125 [1]
125:1 When the Lord brought back the captivity of Sion, * we became like men comforted.
125:2 Then was our mouth filled with gladness; * and our tongue with joy.
125:2 Then shall they say among the Gentiles: * The Lord hath done great things for them.

125:5 They that sow in tears * shall reap in joy.
125:6 Going they went and wept, * casting their seeds.
125:6 But coming they shall come with joyfulness, * carrying their sheaves.
125:1 In converténdo Dóminus captivitátem Sion: * facti sumus sicut consoláti:
125:2 Tunc replétum est gáudio os nostrum: * et lingua nostra exsultatióne.
125:2 Tunc dicent inter gentes: * Magnificávit Dóminus fácere cum eis.
