Is that Vol. 10 (1839)? If so, the better text is that in Vol. 140 (1927).
The Latin text is edited in:
Alicia Correa, The Durham Collectar (Henry Bradshaw Society, Vol. 107, 1992)
p. 165.

It's not exactly the same text:
Gracias agamus Domine sancte pater omnipotens aeterne Deus qui nos transacto
noctis spatio ad matutinas horas perducere dignatus es, quesumus ut dones
nobis diem hunc sine peccato transire, quatenus ad uesperum tibi Deo gratias
referamus. Per Dominum.
But it's clearly closely related. It should be possible to find it in later
liturgical texts - quite likely in the York Use.
