Vespera

Libera

Te lucis ante terminum 
Te lucis ante terminum 
Rerum creator poscimus 
Ut solita clementia 
Sis praesul ad custodium

Before the ending of the day 
Creator of the world we pray 
That with thy wonted favour thou 
Would be our guard and keeper now

Keep me as the apple of an eye 
Hide me under the shadow of thy wings
Keep me as the apple of an eye 
Hide me, hide me, hide me 
Hide me, hide me, hide me

The heaven soars with voices above 
The skies resound the power of your love 
The stars shine out your glorious light 
Shine through our gloom and take us on high

Keep me as the apple of an eye 
Hide me under the shadow of thy wings 
Keep me as the apple of an eye 
Hide me, hide me, hide me

Sancto Spiritu, rerum Creator
