Lyrics: 

VEniat, quaésumus, omnípotens Deus, super hunc incénsum céreum larga tuae bene † dictiónis infúsio : et hunc noctúrnum splendorem invisíbilis regenerátor intende; ut non solum sacrifícium, quod hac nocte litátum est, arcána lúminis tui admixtióne Prayer refúlgeat; sed in quocúmque loco ex hujus sanctificatiónis mystério áliquid fúerit deportátum, expúlsa diabólicae fraudis nequítia, virtus tuae majestátis assístat.

Translated Lyrics: 

May the abundant outpouring of Thy † blessing, we beseech Thee, almighty God, descend upon this incense: and do Thou, O invisible Regenerator, lighten this nocturnal brightness, that not only the sacrifice that is offered this night may shine by the secret mixture of Thy light: but also into whatever place anything of this mysterious sanctification shall be brought, there the power of Thy Majesty may be present and all the malicious artifices of Satan may be defeated. Through Christ our Lord. R. Amen
