Josquin des Pres: "Tu solus qui facis mirabilia"
| Tu solus qui facis mirabilia, Tu solus Creator, qui creasti nos, Tu solus Redemptor, qui redemisti nos sanguine tuo pretiosissimo. Ad te solum confugimus, in te solum confidimus nec alium adoramus, Jesu Christe. Ad te preces effundimus exaudi quod supplicamus, et concede quod petimus, Rex benigne. D'ung aultre amer, Nobis esset fallacia: Magna esset stultitia et peccatum. Audi nostra suspiria, Replenos tua gratia, O rex regum, Ut ad tua servitia Sistamus cum laetitia in aeternum. |
You alone can do wonders, You alone are the Creator, and created us; You alone are the Redeemer, and redeemed us With your most precious blood. In you alone we find refuge, In you alone we trust, None other do we worship, Jesus Christ. To you we pour out our prayers, Hear our supplication, and grant us our request, O King of kindness! To love another would be deceitful; To love another would be great madness and sin. Hear our sighing, fill us with your grace, O King of kings! So we may remain in your service With joy for ever. © Mick Swithinbank |
