Creator alme siderum,
aeterna lux credentium,
Christe, redemptor omnium,
exaudi preces supplicum.
Qui condolens interitu
mortis perire saeculum,
salvasti mundum languidum,
donans reis remedium,
Vergente mundi vespere,
uti sponsus de thalamo,
egressus honestissima
Virginis matris clausula.
Cuius forti potentiae
genu curvantur omnia;
caelestia, terrestria
nutu fatentur subdita.
Te, Sancte, fide quaesumus,
venture iudex saeculi,
conserva nos in tempore
hostis a telo perfidi.
Sit, Christe, rex piissime,
tibi Patrique gloria
cum Spiritu Paraclito,
in sempiterna saecula. Amen.
O Nourishing Creator of the stars
eternal light of believers
O Christ, Redeemer of all
hear the prayers of your supplicants
You, aching at the ruin
of death, that the age perishes,
have saved the weary world
giving a remedy for these things.
With the evening of the world descending
like the groom from his chamber,
the most noble enclosure
of the Virgin mother is entered.
To whose strong power
all things bend the knee'
celestial bodies, terrestrial things,
subdued creatures assent with a nod.
Faithfully we beseech you, O Holy One,
the Judge of the world about to come,
save us in the time
from the dart of the false enemy
O Christ, O Merciful King,
to you and the Father be glory
with the Holy Spirit
into eternal ages. Amen.

This one was hard.
