Rerum, Deus, tenax vigor,
Immótus in te pérmanens,
Lucis diúrnæ témpora

Largíre lumen véspere,
Quo vita nusquam décidat,
Sed præmium mortis sacræ
Perénnis instet glória.

*  Præsta, Pater piíssime,
Patríque compar Unice,
Cum Spíritu Paráclito
Regnans per omne sæculum.  Amen.

 The Hymn

O God, the world's sustaining force,
Thyself unmov'd, all motion's source,
Who from the morn till ev'ning's ray
Through all its changes guid'st the day:

O grant us light at eventide,
That life may unimpair'd abide,
And that a holy death may be
The door of immortality.

Ordinary Ending:
Almighty Father, hear our cry,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord most high,
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally.  Amen.
