The description in YouTube reads as follows, by Google Translated.

 

[The Daily Morning Recitation Scripture of the Supreme Mysterious Gate] The earliest extant version of the "Daily Recitation Scripture of the Supreme Mysterious Gate" used in the morning and evening recitations of Quanzhen Taoist temples is the *Taishang Xuanmen Gongke Jing* (Scripture of the Supreme Mysterious Gate), included in the *Daozang Jiyao* (Essentials of the Taoist Canon). The scripture is divided into the *Taishang Xuanmen Daily Morning Recitation Scripture* and the *Taishang Xuanmen Daily Evening Recitation Scripture*.

The preface to the *Taishang Xuanmen Gongke Jing* describes it as "a scripture for reciting various immortal scriptures and the precious names of all the immortals." The "Daily Recitations" primarily consist of reciting immortal scriptures and praising the sacred titles (precious proclamations). The morning recitation includes the *Taishang Laojun Shuo Chang Qingjing Jing*, *Taishang Shengxuan Xiaozai Huming Jing*, *Taishang Lingbao Tianzun Shuo Rangzai Du'e Jing*, and *Gaoshang Yuhuang Xinyin Jing*, while praising the titles *Yuqing Hao*, *Shangqing Hao*, *Taiqing Hao*, *Miluo Hao*, *Tianhuang Hao*, *Xingzhu Hao*, *Houtu Hao*, *Shenxiao Hao*, *Bei Wuzu Gao*, *Nan Wuzu Gao*, *Qizhen Gao*, and *Puhua Hao*. Following this, one repents, makes vows, and takes refuge in the Three Jewels of Taoism, Scriptures, and Master.

Due to the influence of sectarianism, lineage, and local factors, the content arrangement and textual versions of the "Daily Recitations" may vary slightly from place to place.

【太上玄門日誦早壇功課經】
目前道教全真道觀早課和晚課念誦的「功課經」，現存最早的版本是《道藏輯要》收錄的《太上玄門功課經》，全經細分為《太上玄門日誦早壇功課經》和《太上玄門日誦晚壇功課經》。

《太上玄門功課經序》形容該經為「課誦諸品仙經及羣真寶號」。「功課經」正是以念誦仙經和稱揚聖真寶號（寶誥）為主，其中「早課」念《太上老君說常清靜經》、《太上昇玄消災護命經》、《太上靈寶天尊說禳災度厄經》、《高上玉皇心印經》，稱揚《玉清號》、《上清號》、《太清號》、《彌羅號》、《天皇號》、《星主號》、《后土號》、《神霄號》、《北五祖誥》、《南五祖誥》、《七真誥》、《 普化號》，然後懺悔、發願、歸依道經師三寶。

由於宗派、傳承和地方因素的影響，所以目前各地「功課經」的內容編次和文字版本會略有差異。

I like this song. I copied the subtitles and also found some similar mantras on ctext.

Here's what i have so far. It's far from complete, and I won't be embarrassed if there are mistakes. It's not an academic translation or ordained for service. Just wanted to read along with the singing and to know what it says. That said it is still handled with respect and reverence.

 

There is a downloadable mp4 at https://archive.org/details/wudang-mountain-daoist-temple-chanting-morning-evening-liturgy but it is missing the last ten minutes.

 

As i get more familiar with it, i finally found references for the full text.

for example https://ok9f.com/data/bible/taoism/AF/B/taoismAF_B0013.php 

or elsewhere on zh.wikisource.org

In the meantime, i will compare these to make the next draft.
