Introitus [Introitus]:
Aurora nova lumen afferat,
Laudes cantamus, tenebris fugat.
In silentio, cor adoremus,
Ad astra levamus preces nostras.
Domine, ad te clamamus,
In matutinis, lumen adventum.
Desidia fugiet, gloria refulget,
Corde coniuncti, in te confidemus.

Versus I [Versus I]:
Facta sunt, Domine, opera tua,
In aurora, facies tuae splendor.
Tempus est laudes tibi reddere,
Matutinum, ad te, Deus, veni.
Suscitare nos, in tuo amore,
Mens nostra in silentio recondita.
Ad cathedram tuam portamus,
Preces in altum, ad gloriam tuae.

Versus II [Versus II]:
Voces monachorum resonant,
In templo tuo, in sancta quiete.
Aurora tibi, laudes afferimus,
In nocte tenebras, tu revelas.
Et in lumine tuo, veri cordis,
Duc nos, o Christus, in tuam pacem.
Ab etateque sine fine,
In matutinis laudes nostras accipe.

Interludium [Interludium]:
O nos respice, o lumen verum,
Surgent nostrae voces ad te.
Laudes et hymnos tibi canimus,
In silentio, requies meditandae.
Astra lucent, tuae gloriae,
In tenebris, tua lux radiet.
Adoremus in veritate,
In matutinis, cor nostrum levamus.

Coda [Coda]:
Surge, anima, auroram fidere,
In matutinis, ad te confiteor.
Domine, te glorificamus,
In cathedra tua, silentio.
Viva laude, sangui Dei,
In tenebris, tuum lumen duc.
Ad astrum gloriam attollimus,
In tua pace, nos infunde.
