Lucis largítor spléndide

This chant for morning prayers hymns God as the clear, true source of the light reflected in that small disk whose light is flowing back into the sky.

Lucis largítor spléndide, cuius seréno lúmine post lapsa noctis témpora dies refúsus pánditur,	O gleaming giver of light, by whose clear radiance the overflowing day is spread open once the hours of night have elapsed,
Tu verus mundi lúcifer, non is qui parvi síderis ventúræ lucis núntius angústo fulget lumine,	You bear the world's true light, not this one whose small disk shines with a brief light foretelling the light to come,
Sed toto sole clárior, lux ipse totus et dies, intérna nostri péctoris illúminans præcórdia.	No! brighter than the whole sun, your light is all and day, illuminating the inward heart of our breast.
Evíncat mentis cástitas quæ caro cupit árrogans, sanctúmque puri córporis delúbrum servet spíritus.	May chastity of the mind conquer what the arrogant flesh desires, and may the spirit serve as a holy shrine of the pure body.
Sit, Christe, rex piíssime, tibi Patríque glória cum Spíritu Paráclito, in sémpiterna sæcula. Amen.	Glory to you, O Christ, our most holy king; and to the Father with the Spirit Paraclete, for eternal ages. Amen.
