LATIN

O bone Iesu,
illúmina óculos meos,
ne unquam obdórmiam in morte,
nequándo dicat inimícus meus:
Praeválui advérsus eum.
O Adónai,
in manus tuas comméndo spíritum meum.
Redemísti me, Dómine,
Deus veritátis.

TRANSLATION

O good Jesus,
enlighten my eyes,
that I never sleep in death,
Lest at any time my enemy say:
I have prevailed against him.
O Lord,
into thy hands I commend my spirit.
Thou hast redeemed me, O Lord,
God of truth.
