GLORIA – JOHN RUTTER
I. Gloria in excelsis Deo. Et in terra pax hominibus bonae voluntatis. Laudamus
te. Benedicimus te. Adoramus te. Glorificamus te. Gratias agimus tibi propter
magnam gloriam tuam. (Gloria in excelsis Deo.)
Glory be to God on high, and on earth peace, good will towards men. We praise
thee. We bless thee. We worship thee. We glorify thee. We give thanks to thee for thy
great glory. (Glory be to God on high.)
II. Domine Deus, Rex caelestis, Deus Pater omnipotens. Domine Fili unigenite
Jesu Christe. Domine Deus, Agnus Dei, Filius Patris. Qui tollis peccata mundi,
miserere nobis. Qui tollis peccata mundi, suscipe deprecationem nostram. Qui
sedes ad dexteram Patris, miserere nobis.
O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty. O Lord, the only-begotten
Son Jesu Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the
sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world,
have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer.
Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us.
III. Quoniam tu solus sanctus. Tu solus Dominus. Tu solus altissimus, Jesu
Christe. Cum Sancto Spiritu, in gloria Dei Patris. Amen. (Gloria in excelsis Deo.
Amen.)
For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the Holy
Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen. (Glory be to God on
high. Amen.)
LET MY LOVE BE HEARD – JAKE RUNSTEAD (text from “A Prayer” by Alfred Noyes)
Angels, where you soar
Up to God’s own light
Take my own lost bird
On your hearts tonight;
And as grief once more
Mounts to heaven and sings
Let my love be heard
Whispering in your wings
HE WISHES FOR THE CLOTHS OF HEAVEN – BRADLEY ELLINGBOE (text from poem by W.B. Yeats)
Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths
Enwrought with golden and silver light
The blue and the dim and the dark cloths
Of night and light and the half-light
I would spread the cloths under your feet
But I, being poor, have only my dreams
I have spread my dreams under your feet
Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.
