Nocte surgentes vigilemus omnes

Let us arise and watch ere dawn of light,
And to the Lord our hearts and voices raise;
And meditate in psalms, and all unite
In holy hymns of praise.

So joining in the strains of Saints on high,
Hereafter, in the courts of Heaven’s great King,
May we be meet his praise eternally
With them in bliss to sing.

Father supreme! this grace on us confer,
And Thou, O Son by an eternal birth!
With Thee, coequal Spirit Comforter!
Whose glory fills the earth.
