Beata Lux

Let dust in dust and silence lay

For there the heaven is but who am I

How shall I sing that majesty

Which angels so admire in ecstasy



O Lux beata trinita

Fulget crucis mysterium

Lucis creator optime

Aeterna Lux caelestia



I shall on earth be dark and cold

Black skies surrounding me with fears untold

But there's a sea without a shore

A sun without a sphere eternally



Beata-beata

Lux
