ANGELORUM GLORIAE
Lyrics: Anonymous, from Aosta Manuscript, XV c. & Office hymn for “Common of Several Martyrs”
Rex gloriose martyrum
corona confitentium
qui respuentes terrea
perducis ad coelestia.
Angelorum gloriae
Incarnantur hodie.
Gloria tibi Domine
qui surrexisti a mortuis
cum Patre et Sancto Spiritu
In sempiterna saecula. Amen.
Angelorum gloriae
Incarnantur hodie
Pacem bonis omnibus
nunciavit angelus.
-------------------------
O king of glorious martyrs,
Ο crown of faith confessors,
You lead to heaven
those who have despised the earthly.
The glory of angels
today has incarnated.
Glory to Thee, O Lord,
You have risen from the dead,
with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
for ever and ever, amen.
The glory of angels
today is incarnated.
Peace to all good people
the angel has proclaimed.

SULAMIT
Lyrics: “Hvad est du dog skjøn” – Hans Adolph Brorson, Denmark, XVIII c.
How beautiful, how beautiful,
Thou most blessed Son of God.
Oh, thou art my Sulamite, Sulamite,
Yes mine, yes mine,
All that I have is also thine.
My friend, thou art mine,
So let me ever be thine!
In truth and always verily, verily
Thou shalt bide here and everywhere.
But behold, I am here,
yes here, yes here,
Among so many drawn blades!
Oh, so come, dove, come!
Yes, come! Yes, come!
In rock’s hollows are peace and shelter.

LYSETS VEJ
Lyrics: “It Does Not Cast Too Hard A Strife” – Christian Friedrich Richter, XVII c.
Danish translation: Hans Adolf Brorson, XVIII c.
Det koster ej for megen Strid,
en himmelsindet Kristen-Sjæl at blive;
er vor Natur end ikke mild og blid,
naar den i Kristi Død sig hen skal give.
I Troen søg dit Hjertes Ro,
naar Trængsels Nat og Mørkhed dig vil dækko,
din Fader kan du altid sikkert tro,
lad dig kun ingen Vind og Fare skrække!
Gør som et Barn og læg dig ned
i Jesu Skød og naadefulde Arme,
han skal dig, som sit Barn, med Kærlighed
da ved sit Frelserhjerte gennemvarme.
Gud intet ondt dig gøre vil,
men al din Ve, den gør din egen Vilje;
byd Gud dit arme, bange Hjerte til,
han skal det snart med Trøst og Glæde stille.
Saa skal dit Lys igen opgaa,
og Solen skinne efter Nattens Skygge,
hvad du har tro’t, skal synlig for dig staa,
paa Gud du kan frimodig altid bygge!
--------------------------------------------------
It does not cost too hard a strife
To be a Christian, pure and heaven-minded.
Is not our nature in sin and error blinded,
when giving God our life?
In faith seek thоу thy heart’s peace, when
dark throng-night will cover thee
Your Father canst thou surely believe,
Let no mere wind or danger scare thee.
Lay thee down as God’s own child,
In Jesus’ lap and arms forgiving
So shall he, his love and saviour-heart,
His child anew enliven.
The Lord proposes thee no ill,
Thy disobedience causes all thine anguish.
Commit to God thy sinful heart and will,
And thou no more in sin and grief shalt languish.
Then shall thy light appear anew
Like morning from the deep of night ascending,
What thou didst hope shall stand before thee true;
They are not shamed who are on God depending.

RISE MY SOUL
Lyrics: Robert Seagrave, England, 1742
Rise, my soul, and stretch thy wings,
Thy better portion trace,
Rise from transitory things,
Towards heaven, thy native place;
Sun, and moon and stars decay,
Time shall soon this earth remove,
Rise, my soul, and haste away,
To seats prepared above.
Rivers to the ocean run,
Nor stay in all their course;
Fire ascending seeks the sun,
Both speed them to their source;
So a soul that’s born of God,
Pants to view his glorious face;
Upwards tends to his abode,
To rest in his embrace.
Cease, ye pilgrims, cease to mourn,
Press onward to the prize;
Soon our Savior will return
Triumphant in the skies:
Yet a season and you know
Happy entrance will be given;
All our sorrows cast below,
And earth exchange for heaven.

UM HANN
Lyrics: “Allein Gott in der Höh sei Her” – Nikolaus Decius, from “Rostock Gesang Buch”, 1525
Icelandic translation: Helgi Hálfdánarsson, XIX c.
Um Hann, sem ríkir himnum á
og hjálp oss veitir sína,
allt syngi lof, er lofa má,
og láti þökk ei dvína.
Á mönnum þóknun hefur hann,
af hæstri náð þeim friðar ann
og lætur ljós þeim skína.
lof sé þér, þú líknarlindin sanna.
Ó, Jesús, Guðs hinn góði son,
O, Guð helgur andi, huggun trú
þér stað í vorum brjóstum bú,
Vor hjörtu ljós og frið lát fá.
-----------------------------------
All glory be to God on high,
Who hath our race befriended!
Sing all praise that can be sung,
Let gratitude not fade away.
God showeth His good will to men,
And peace shall reign on earth again;
And let light shine bright on them.
Praise to Thee, you source of mercy!
O Jesus Christ, Thou only Son
O Holy Ghost, Thou true faith
A precious place in our chest you have
You our hearts with peace provide.

TARRY NO LONGER
Lyrics: John Lydgate, England, XV c.
Tarry no longer! Toward thine heritage
Haste on thy way, and be of right good cheer;
Go each day onward on thy pilgrimage;
Think how short time thou shalt abide thee here.
Thy place is built above the starre's clear;
None earthly palace wrought in so stately wise.
Come on, my friend, my brother most dear!
For thee I offered my blood in sacrifice.

A QUIÉN DEBO YO LLAMAR?
Lyrics: Juan del Encina, from “Cancionero de Palacio”, Spain, XV c.
A quién debo yo llamar vida mía,
sino a ti, Virgen María?
Todos te de ben servir,
virgen y madre de Dios,
que siempre ruegas por nos
y tu nos haces vevir.
El tesoro divinal
en tu vientre se encerró
tan precioso que libró
todo el linaje humanal.
¿A quién debo yo llamar vida mía,
sino a ti, Virgen María?
Oh clara virginidad
fuente de toda virtud,
no ceses de dar salud
a toda la cristiandad!
---------------------------
Whom should I turn to in my life,
but to you, Virgin Mary?
Everyone should serve you,
Virgin and Mother of God,
because you always pray for us
and you make us live.
The divine treasure
was locked into your womb
so precious that he liberated
the entire human lineage.
Who should I call my life,
but to you, Virgin Mary?
Oh, pure Virginity
source of all virtue,
don't stop giving haleness
to all Christendom!

O dolcezza degl’angeli e di santi,
o dolcezza Giesu,
Giesu dolcezza de fideli amanti,

Giesu dolcezza che fai languir d’amore,
O dolcezza Giesu,

O dolcezza che avanzi ogni diletto,
o dolcezza Giesu,
perche te sopr’ ogn’altro amo e desio,
Giesu, dolce Giesu.

THE JOY OF THE PILGRIM
Lyrics: “Stella splendens in monte” – Anonymous, from
Manuscript “Libre Vermell de Montserrat”, XIV c., compiled by Denitza Seraphim
Concurunt gaudentes grandes et parvuli
ipsum ingrediuntur ut cernunt oculi
conscendunt et hunc montem et religiosae
Et inde revertuntur graciis repleti.
Coetus aggregantur hic ut exibeant
vota regratiantur ut ipsa et reddant
aulam istam ditantes cuncti videant
jocalibus ornantes soluti redeant.
Divites et egeni
peccaminum proclamant obtenta venia.
Grandes et parvuli
oremus devote hic: Ave Maria!
Prelati et barones
religiosi omnes
burgenes piscatores
premiantur ibi.
Artifices, scultores,
notarii et sutores,
rustici et omnes
gratulantur ibi.
Reginae et anscillae,
juvenes et antique,
virgines et pariter
conscendunt et montem.
Cuncti precantes sexus utriusque
mentes mundantes oremus devote
virgirnem gloriosam matrem clementiae
in coelis gratiosam sentiamus vere.
-------------------------------------------------
From all around they rally, rejoicing, young and old,
They assemble here to see with their own eyes,
So do religious nuns
And return from it filled with grace.
All assemble here to present their vows,
Grateful so that they keep their promise,
By enriching this shrine, so that all see it,
Decorating it with jewels and return home released.
Rich and poor
For their sin they cry out,
Having obtained indulgence,
Young and old, let us pray devoutly here: Hail Mary!
Prelates and barons
All religious
Burgers, fishermen
Are recompensed here.
Craftsmen, stone-masons,
Advocates and tailors
Peasants and all
Rejoice here.
Queens and slave women
Girls and old women
Virgins alike
Climb this mountain.
Therefore, everyone, male and female,
Cleansing our minds, let us devoutly pray
Glorious Virgin, Clement Mother,
Her grace in Heaven may we truly experience.
