Te Lucis Ante Terminum~Evening Hymn (HD)

  • 11 years ago
Te lucis ante terminum is an old Latin hymn in Long Metre. It is the hymn at Compline(Night Prayer), in the Roman Breviary.4th century .To thee before the close of day,
Creator of the world, we pray
That, with thy wonted favour, thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.

From all ill dreams defend our sight,
From fears and terrors of the night;
Withhold from us our ghostly foe,
That spot of sin we may not know.

O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.

Amen.
