Te lucis ante terminum - Balfour Gardiner (and many others)

Te lucis ante terminum,
rerum Creator, poscimus,
ut solita clementia,
sis praesul ad custodiam.

Procul recedant somnia,
et noctium phantasmata:
hostemque nostrum comprime,
ne polluantur corpora.

Praesta, Pater omnipotens,
per Iesum Christum Dominum,
qui tecum in perpetuum
regnat cum Sancto Spiritu.

(although out of interest the 1974 'agreed text' replaces the - relevant- 2nd stanza with:
Te corda nostra somnient,/ te per soporem sentiant,/ tuamque semper gloriam/ vicina luce concinant. Vitam salubrem tribue,/ nostrum calorem refice,/ taetram noctis caliginem/ tua collustret claritas.- blatant revisionism in my humble opinion!)

BTW what a fantastic Prom from the NYO - it is good to know that the future of decent music is assured in the hands of these brilliant young musicians. Despite the recent unedifying posturing by members of this forum - I hope we can ALL agree on the fact that we are SO lucky to have such fantastic young people in our choirs and orchestras.
