Gregorian Night of Light ✨ Sanctum Lumen & Rex Caelorum — A Cappella Prayer

A gentle winter / Christmas-night Gregorian-style vigil about eternal light coming into the darkness: lumen aeternum splendet in tenebris, the voice crying in the desert, humble Kyrie, Sanctus of the shadows, and praise to the King of Heaven. A small male schola sings a cappella in a slow, meditative Gregorian manner with long stone-cathedral reverb and very soft dynamics. Voices only — no instruments, no pads, no drones — perfect for Christmas nights, Advent prayer, sleep and quiet meditation.

Lumen aeternum splendet in tenebris, et tenebrae eam non comprehenderunt.
Vox clamantis resonat in deserto: rectas facite semitas Domini.
Miserere nobis, Deus clementiae, aperi oculos cordis nostri ad lucem tuam.
Lux aeterna clarescat in tenebris; pax cadit sicut pluvia, Kyrie eleison.
Lux aeterna spirat, lacrimae fiunt lumen; in silentio speramus.
Sanctus umbrarum, in aeternum sanctus — ex tenebris venit fides.
Sanctum lumine, miserere nobis, Domine altissime; spes nostra in tenebris.
O Rex caelorum, via et veritas, Agnus immaculatus, dona nobis pacem.
O Lux Aeterna bright and pure, guide us through every shadowed vale.
In lumine tuo videbimus lumen; gloria in excelsis Deo.
