Invenies Me Mane Caelo (On the Wings of Morning) – A hymn in Latin

Verse 1
Domine cognovisti me.
Tu scis omnia dico quae.
Intellexisti cogitationes.
Domine, probasti me.

Verse 2
Quia non est in lingua mea
verbum quod non intellegis,
tu me custodies, in aeternum,
ab utero matris.

Verse 3
Quo ibo a spiritu tuo?
Tenebris oritur lux ex –
Domine indica mihi ubi?
Certe, illic es.

Verse 4
Opera tua magna sunt,
scit hoc mea anima.
In caelo et inferno,
quae sunt vides omnia.

Verse 5
Vides animam meam,
quamvis sit imperfecta.
In libro tuo scribentur:
ultima et prima.

Verse 6
Cogitationes tuae sunt
mirabiles ad me.
Sunt plus quam
mundus terrae, Domine.

Verse 7
Proba me, Deus,
et me interroga.
Domine, deduc me
in via aeterna.

Verse 8
Invenies me mane caelo,
aut fortasse infra mare,
dextera tua me deducet
et consolabit me.

Verse 1
Lord, Thou hast known me.
Thou knowest all that I mean.
Thou understands my thoughts.
Lord, thou hath tested me.

Verse 2
Because there is no word in my tongue
that Thou does not comprehend,
Thou safeguards me forever,
from the womb.

Verse 3
Shall I go forth from Thy spirit?
From the darkness, light arises –
Lord, canst Thou tell me where?
Thou art surely there.

Verse 4
Thy works are magnificent,
my soul knows this.
In heaven and hell,
thou sees all that exists.

Verse 5
Thou sees my soul,
although it is imperfect.
In Thy book shall be written:
the last and the first.

Verse 6
Thy thoughts are
wonderful to me.
They are more than
the sands of the world, Lord.

Verse 7
Search me, God,
and test me.
Lord, lead me
in Thy everlasting way.

Verse 8
If Thou will find me in the morning heaven,
or perhaps under the sea,
Thy right hand shall lead
and comfort me.
