A Poem of the Venerable Bede

Christus est stella matutina, Alleluia
Qui nocte saeculi transacta, Alleluia
Lucem vitae sanctis promittit, Alleluia;
Et pandit aeternam, Alleluia

Christ is the morning star, Alleluia.
who when the night of this world is past, Alleluia
brings to his saints the promise of the light of life, Alleluia;
and opens everlasting day. Alleluia
