Textual incipit

Dum nocturna levi

Lyrics Text

Dum nocturna levi repetens vestigia cursu
Phœbus sub undis occidit,
Et placide subeunt optata silentia nocti,
Ac mille cœlo numina,
Me pavor impavidum rapit, undique terra refulget
Flammis micans cœlestibus,
Cantibus altissonis exultant omnia passim,
Optatus infans nascitur.
Fundo preces lætus dubium me summa potestas
Solatur alti numinis,
Suspiciens cœlos inquam Deus ille Deorum,
Est solus immensus Deus,
Qui populos humiles salvos facit, atque superbos
Dextra Tirannos dejicit.
Huic mea vota feram, verbo qui cuncta creavit,
Nutuque mundum temperat :
Huic Regum Soboles, huic totus pareat orbis :
Huic detur uni gloria
