Latin Bleg

I know, I know ... this is not the place you'd expect to see someone asking for help with Latin.

However, I am beginning to read China Court for the podcast and it follows the "Day Hours," beginning each section with a description of the page of the book. Naturally, that includes some Latin as the "Day Hours" book is old.

So the first section is for "Lauds" and I need a pronunciation guide to this sentence:
"Nox praecessit, dies autem appropinquavit. ..."
Please keep in mind that I know next to nothing about Latin. In case it helps, the translation is:
The night is far on its course; day draws near.
Anyone?
