It's latin.
Im guessing Light Eternal.
Lux means light.
Aeterna isnt really a latin word, however aeternus is and it means eternal.

Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine cum sanctis tuis in aeternum: quia pius es.
In Dutch this translates to:
Laat, Heer, eeuwig licht hen, voorgoed in gezelschap van de heiligen, beschijnen, omdat U genadig bent.
Wich translates to English in something like:
Let, Lord, eternal light them, forever in companionship of the saints, shine, cause you are merciful.
So 'Eternal Light' is the best translation me thinks.
