Gregorian Chant for Evening Peace & Light | Vespers (Lux Vespertina)

Lux Vespertina—“Evening Light”—is a sacred Gregorian chant from the hour of Vespers, when monastic communities gather to give thanks at the close of day. Sung beneath golden candlelight and lengthening shadows, this chant reflects quiet surrender, praise, and spiritual rest.

Presented by Gregorian Chanting (@GregorianChanting), it draws from ancient prayers of thanksgiving and light, echoing softly through cloistered halls. As the sun sets, the soul lifts its voice in still reverence, offering all to God before night falls.

Let this chant be your sacred exhale at day's end—a moment of peace and holy quiet.

Latin Lyrics & English Translation:
Latin:
Lux vespertina fulget,
In tenebris non timemus.
Gratias agimus Deo nostro,
Qui dedit pacem diei.

Fiat lux in cordibus nostris,
Et verbum eius maneat in nobis.
Custodi nos, Domine, hac nocte,
Ut in pace requiescamus.

English:
Evening light now shines,
In the dark we are not afraid.
We give thanks to our God,
Who granted peace throughout the day.

Let there be light in our hearts,
And may His word remain in us.
Guard us, O Lord, this night,
That we may rest in peace.
