Vere Languores Nostros
Text from Isaiah 53:4, 5; Antiphon for the
Office of the Exultation of the Holy Cross
Vere languores nostros, ipse tulit,
et Dolores nostros, ipse portavit:
cujus livore sanati sumus.
Dulce lignum, dulce clavos,
dulcia ferens pondera,
quae sola fuisti digna sustinere
Regem coelorum, et Dominum.
Gabriel Fauré
Cantique de Jean Racine
Text by Jean Racine (1639-1699)
Verbe égal au Très Haut
Notre uniques espérance,
Jour eternal de la terre et des cieux,
De la paisible nuit,
Nous rompons le silence,
Divin Sauveur jette sur nous les yeux!
Répands sur nous le feu de ta grace
puissante,
que tout l’enfer fuie au son de ta voix,
Dissipe le sommeil d’une âme
languissante,
qui la conduit à l’oubli de tes lois!
Ô Christ sois favorable
à ce people fidèle
pour te bénir maintenant rassemblé,
Reçois les chants qu’il offre
à ta gloire immortelle
et de tes dons qu’il retourne comblé!
Truly Our Infirmities
Truly he alone has borne our infirmities,
and he himself has carried our sorrows:
by his stripes we are healed.
Sweet wood, sweet nails,
that held his sweet burden,
which you alone have been worthy to
bear
The King of heaven and Lord
Hymn of Jean Racine
The Word equal to the Most High
Our only hope,
Eternal day of the earth and heavens,
In the quiet night,
We break the silence,
Divine Savior cast your eyes on us!
Spread over us the fire of your powerful
grace,
that all hell flee at the sound of your
voice,
Dispels the sleep of the sorrowful soul,
which leads to the forgetting of thy laws!
Be favorable, O Christ
on this faithful people
now gathered to bless you,
Receive the songs that they offer
to your immortal glory
and your gifts that they return fulfilled!
Eric Whitacre
Five Hebrew Love Songs

Franz Joseph Haydn
Te Deum
Te deum laudamus
Te dominum cofitemur.
Te aeternum Patrem
omnis terra venerator.
Tibi omnes angeli,
tibi cæli: et universæ Potestates.
Tibi Cherubim
incessabili voce procalmant:
Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus:
Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt cæli et terra
majestates gloriæ tuæ.
A Picture
A picture is engraved in my heart;
Moving between light and darkness:
A sort of silence envelopes your body,
And your hair falls upon your face just
so.
Light bride
Light bride
She is all mine,
And lightly
She will kiss me!
Mostly
“Mostly,” said the roof to the sky,
“the distance between you and I is
endlessness;
But a while ago two came up here,
and only a centimeter was left between
us.”
What snow!
What snow!
Like little dreams
Falling from the sky.
Tenderness
He was full of tenderness;
She was very hard.
And as much as she tried to stay thus,
Simply, and with no good reason,
He took her into himself,
And set her down
in the softest, softest place.
We praise you, O God,
We acknowledge you to be the Lord;
All the earth now worships you,
the Father everlasting.
To you all angels cry aloud,
the heavens and all the powers therein;
to you cherubim
continually do cry:
Holy, Holy, Holy:
Holy Lord, God of Hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of the
majesty of your glory.
Te gloriosus
Apostolorum chorus.
Te Prophetarum
laudabilis numerus.
Te Maryrum candidatus laudat exercitus.
Te per orbum terrarium
sancta confitetur Ecclesia.
Patrem immensæ majestatis:
Venerandum tuum, verum,
et unicum Filium.
Sanctum quoque Paraclitum Spiritum.
Tu Rex gloriæ, Christe, tu Patris
sempiternus es Filius.
Tu ad liberandum
suscepturus hominem,
non horruisti Virginis uterum.
Tu devicto mortis aculeo,
aperuisti credentibus
regna cælorum.
Tu ad dexteram Dei sedes,
in gloria Patris.
Judex crederis, esse venturus.
Te ergo quæsumus, tuis famulis subveni,
quos pretioso
sanguine redemisti.
Aeterna fac
cum Sanctis tuis in Gloria numerari.
Salvum fac populum tuum Domine,
et benedic hereditati tuæ.
Et rege cos, et extolle illos,
et extolle illos usque in aeternum.
Per singulos dies, benedicimus te,
et laudamus nomen tuum in sæculum
sæculi.
Dignare Domine
dic isto sine peccato nos custom dire.
Miserere nostri Domine, miserere nostri.
Fiat misericordia tua Domine super nos,
quem admodum speravimusin te.
In te Domine speravi
non confundar in æternum.
The glorious company
of the apostles praise you,
the goodly fellowship
of the prophets praise you,
the noble army of martyrs praise you.
The holy Church throughout all the
world does acknowledge you:
the Father of an infinite majesty,
your adorable, true,
and only Son,
also the Holy Spirit, the counselor.
You are the King of glory, O Christ.
You are the everlasting Son of the Father.
To deliver us,
you became human,
and did not disdain the Virgin’s womb
Having blunted the sting of death,
you opened the kingdom of heaven to all
believers.
You sit at the right hand of God
in the glory of the Father.
We believe that you will come to be our
judge.
We therefore pray you help your
servants, whom you have redeemed with
your precious blood.
Make them to be numbered
with your saints in glory everlasting.
O Lord save your people
and bless your heritage.
Govern them and lift them up forever.
Day by day we magnify you,
and we worship your name,
world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord,
to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy
upon us.
O Lord, let your mercy be upon us,
as our trust is in you.
O Lord, in you have I trusted,
let me never be confounded.
