Lyrics:

O lux beata Trinitas,
Et principalis unitas,
Iam sol recedit igneus,
Infunde lumen cordibus.

Te mane laudum carmine,
Te deprecamur vesperi,
Te nostra supplex gloria,
Per cuncta laudet saecula.

Deo patri sit gloria,
Eiusque soli filio,
Cum spiritu paracleto,
Et nunc et in perpetuum. Amen.

English translation:
O light, blessed Trinity,
and principal unity,
as the fiery sun departs,
pour light into our hearts.

To you our morning song of praise,
to you our evening prayer we raise;
you may our glory evermore
in lowly reverence adore.

To God the Father glory,
and to his only Son,
with the Holy Spirit,
now and for ever. Amen.

Notes: Actually SATTBB.
