We continue with last week's Music Monday and focus on John Rutter's Gloria.
This is the second movement. Gorgeous close harmony here! Turn up your speakers and put on your head phones to hear this hushed beauty!
Below are the lyrics and translation for the second movement.
- Dómine Deus, Rex cæléstis,
- Deus Pater omnípotens.
- Dómine Fili Unigénite, Iesu Christe,
- Dómine Deus, Agnus Dei, Fílius Patris,
- qui tollis peccáta mundi, miserére nobis;
- qui tollis peccáta mundi, súscipe deprecatiónem nostram.
- Qui sedes ad déxteram Patris, miserére 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.
- 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 of the Father, have mercy upon us.
