Apparently the Latin version of the hymn has eight stanzas. Here is a
partial translation into English:

"Lucis largitor splendide
 O glorious Father of the light,

 Cuius serene lumine
 From whose efflugence, calm and bright,

 Post lapsa noctis tempora
 Soon as hours of night are fled,

 Dies refusus panditur:
 The brilliance of the dawn is shed:

 To verus mundi Lucifer,
 Thou art the dark world?s truer ray:

 Non is, qui parvi sideris,
 No radiance of that lesser day,
 
 Venturae lucis nuntius
 That heralds, in the morn begun,

 Augusto fulget lumine:
 The advent of our darker sun:
 
 Sed toto sole clarior,
 But, brighter than its noontide gleam,
 
 Lux ipse totus et dies,
 Thyself full daylight?s fullest beam,

 Interna nostri pectoris
 The inmost mansions of our breast
 
 Illuminans praecordia.
 Thou by Thy grace illuminest."

I do have this partial translation, but want to get the full
translation asap.  I have the full Latin version but it seems to have
9 stanzas! Have been trying on the web for about a week.  Hope you get
more success!
Thanks

Perhaps a Researcher with access to offline resources will be able to
help. You might consider raising your price; Researchers are usually
more willing to go to libraries and other outside reference sources if
the fee makes it worth their while.
