O Joyful light that shines so bright,
Eternal splendour of the Father.
Holy light, peaceful light :
Jesus Christ the Lord !

The sun takes leave of us,
The night embraces us.
We sing to the Father,
We sing to the Son,
We sing to the Spirit,
United Three-in-one !

We give you thanks and praise,
With faithful and pure hearts.
Our voices are singing,
The world gives you praise.
O Son of the Father,
Who gave eternal life !

Stay with us, Lord, the day
Is ending, evening falls.
Enlighten our minds, Lord,
Enlighten our ways.
O light full of splendour,
O light that has no end !

To you we lift our hands,
We offer you our lives.
We sing in your temple,
We bless you, o Lord.
Like incense our prayer
Will rise before you throne !
