Cause us so always by our lives to confess openly your glory, that in heaven, too, we may never cease from your praise.

attr. Fra Angelico
"Deus, nostrae fons et origo salutis, ita nos fac semper vita nostra tuam gloriam profiteri, ut et in caelis a tua numquam laude cessemus."

     Oratio for Morning prayer (Ad laudes matutinas) on Saturday of the third week of the Psalter, Liturgia horarum, vols. 3 and 4 only.  Liturgy of the hours:

"God our Father, fountain and source of our salvation, may we proclaim your glory every day of our lives, that we may sing your praise for ever in heaven."

     The phrase "ut a tua numquam laude cessemus," at least, is ancient (Leonine, Gregorian, etc.).
