Peace be to you and grace from him Who freed us from our sins, Who loved us all and shed his blood That we might saved be. Sing holy, holy to our Lord, The Lord, Almighty God, Who was and is and is to come; Sing holy, holy, Lord! Rejoice in heaven, all ye that dwell therein, Rejoice on earth, ye saints below, For Christ is coming, is coming soon, For Christ is coming soon! E'en so, Lord Jesus, quickly come, And night shall be no more; They need no light nor lamp nor sun, For Christ will be their All!Revelation 22, adapted by Ruth Manz
O rex Gloriae, Domine virtutum, qui triumphator hodie super omnes coelos ascendisti, ne derelinquas nos orphanos, sed mitte promissum Patris in nos Spiritum Veritatis Alleluia.Collect for the Sunday after Ascension Day
Tribus miraculis ornatum, diem sanctum colimus: Hodie stella magos duxit ad praesepium: Vinum ex aqua factum est adnuptias: Hodie a Joanne Christus baptizari voluit, ut salvaret nos, Alleluia.
Regina coeli, laetare quia, quem meruisti portare resurrexit, sicut dixit. Alleluia! Innegiamo, il Signor non e morte, ei fulgente ha dischiutso l'avel, innegiamo al Signore risorto, oggi asceso alla gloria del ciel!
O sing praise to the Lord who is risen, Death's dominion and power to deny: He has broken the bods of his prison, He is risen to glory on high!oh Signor! Alleluia! from Cavalleria Rusicana
Above all praise and majesty ...
Hear my prayer, O God, incline Thine ear! Thyself from my petition do not hide! Take heed to me! Hear how in prayer I mourn to Thee! Without Thee all is dark, I have no guide. The enemy shouteth, The godless come fast! Iniquity, hatred upon me they cast! The wicked oppress me, Ah, where shall I fly? Perplexed and bewildered, O God, hear my cry! My heart is sorely pained within my breast, My soul with deathly terror is oppressed, Trembling and fearfulness upon me fall, With horror overhelmed, Lord, hear me call! O for the wings of a dove! Far away would I rove! In the wilderness build me a nest, And remain there for ever at rest.Words: W Bartholomew
I waited for the Lord, he inclined unto me, he heard my complaint. O blest are they that hope and trust in him.
O sacrum convivium in quo sumitur; reolitur memoria passionis eius, mens impletur gratia; et futurae gloriae nobis pignus datur.Antiphon to the Magnificat for Corpus Christi
Nolo mortem peccatoris; Haec sunt verba Salvatoris. Father I am thine only Son, sent down from heav’n mankind to save. Father, all things fulfilled and done according to thy will, I have. Father, my will now all is this: Nolo mortem peccatoris. Father behold my painful smart, taken for man on ev’ry side; Even from my birth to death most tart, no kind of pain I have denied, but suffered all, and all for this: Nolo mortem peccatoris.Sir William More (c. 1570)
Ave verum Corpus, natum De Maria Virgine, Vere passum, immolatum In cruce pro homine: Cuius latum perforatum Unda fluxit et sanguine, Esto nobis praegustatum In mortis examine.14th century
Let us now laud and magnify with music of concord The Father, the Son, and Holy Ghost, one ever living Lord. With tuned notes that sweetly sound to praise our heavenly king, With cheerful hearts, with pleasant voice, on this wise let us sing: Glory be to the Trinity, one God and persons three; As it is now and ever was, and evermore shall be. Amen.Words anon.
