Text:
Te lucis ante terminum,
To you before the day's end,
Rerum Creator poscimus,
We pray, creator of all things,
Ut solita clementia
That by your clemency
Sis præsul ad custodiam.
You might be our grand keeper
Procul recedant somnia,
Put nightmares far from us,
Et noctium phantasmata;
And night terrors,
Hostemque nostrum comprime,
And restrain our enemies
Ne polluantur corpora.
That our bodies my not know pollution
Præsta, Pater omnipotens,
Grant this, Father almighty,
Per Iesum Christum Dominum,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Qui tecum in perpetuum
Who through all ages reigns
Regnat cum Sancto Spiritu. Amen.
With the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Out of everything I ever sang in college choir, this is still hands down my favorite piece.

I had the honor to both sing and conduct this in my undergrad years and ever since then this piece pops up in my head almost weekly. So excited and appreciative to have this video to bring back these wonderful memories of this incredible piece

A truly lovely work! I love the lush harmony in the beginning few bars?
