Te lucis ante terminum
rerum Creator poscimus
ut pro tua clementia
sis præsul et custodia
Procul recedant somnia
et noctium phantasmata
Hostem que nostrum comprime
ne polluantur corpora
Præsta, Pater...
From all ill dreams defend our eyes
from nightly fears and [Bm]fantasies
Tread under foot our ghostly foe
that no pollution [C7]we may know
O Father, this we ask be [Am]done
through Jesus Christ, Thine only Son
Who, with the Holy Ghost and [Bm]Thee
doth live and [Bm]ɾeign eternally
