Texts and Translations
Schütz: Sicut Moses serpentem in deserto exaltavit, SWV 68 (John 3:14-15)
Sicut Moses serpentem in deserto exaltavit,
Just as Moses lifted up the serpent in the desert,
Ita filium hominis oportet exaltari,
Even so must the son of man be exalted,
Ut omnis, qui credit in eum,
So that all who have faith in him will not die,
Non pereat sed habeat vitam aeternam.
But have everlasting life.
Schütz: Heu mihi, Domine, SWV 65 (Psalm 31:2)
Heu mihi, Domine,
Quia peccavi nimis in vita mea,
Quid faciam miser, ubi fugiam,
Nisi ad te, Deus meus.
Dum veneris in novissimo die, miserere mei.
Schütz: Supereminet omnem scientiam, SWV 76
Supereminet omnem scientiam o bone Jesu, tua magna caritas,
Woe is me, O Lord,
How deeply have I sinned in my life,
What do I, poor one, do? Where do I flee?
If not to you, my God?
When you appear on the very last day, have mercy on me.
Humanam et enim non angelicam suscipiens naturam
Et eam stola immortalitatis glorificans.
Vexisti super omnes coelos, super omnes choros angelorum,
Super Cherubim, super Seraphim ad dexteram patris.
Te laudant angeli, adorant dominationes et omnes virtutes
coelorum tremunt super se et super hominem Deum.
Surpassing all the knowledge of all humanity, o gentle Jesus, is your
great charity
Which you have shown us, although we are unworthy of your sole
goodness and mercy,
You took on human nature, not angelic nature,
Glorifying it with immortality.
To rise above all the heavens, over all the chorus of angels,
Over Cherubim, over Seraphim at the right hand of the Father.
Angels praise you, dominions adore you, and all powers of heaven
tremble before God.
Schütz: Pro hoc magno mysterio, SWV 77
Pro hoc magno mysterio pietatis
Benedico et glorifico nomen sanctum tuum,
Rex Christe, fili Mariae, fili Dei viventis.
Tibi sit honor et Gloria cum patre et sancto spiritu in
sempiterna saecula.
For this great mystery of devotion
I bless and glorify your holy name,
King Christ, son of Mary, son of the living God.
Honor and glory be to you with the Father and the Holy Spirit for
ever and ever.
Quam ostendisti nobis indignis pro sola bonitate et pietate tua,
Mendelssohn: Jauchzet dem Herren, alle Welt (Psalm 100 and Doxologie)
Jauchzet dem Herren, alle Welt;
Be joyful in the Lord, all the world;
Dient dem Herrn mit Freuden.
Serve the Lord with gladness.
und Kommet vor sein Angesicht mit Frohlocken.
Come before His presence with rejoicing.
Er ist Gott, unser Herr, er ist Gott:
And know that the Lord is God:
Er hat uns gemacht und nicht wir selbst;
He has made us and not ourselves;
Zu seinem Volke und zu Schafen seiner Weide.
We are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
O geht zu seinen Toren ein mit Danken,
Zu seinen Vorhöfen mit Loben.
Und lobet seinem Namen.
O go into his gates with thanksgiving,
And into his courts with praise.
Give thanks to him, praise his name.
Denn der Herr ist freundlich Und seine Gnade und Wahrheit waltet ewig.
Denn der Herr ist freundlich, und seine Gnad und Wahrheit
währet ewig, für und für.
For the Lord is gracious,
And his mercy endures is everlasting.
And His truth endures from generation to generation.
Ehre sei dem Vater und dem Sohne Und dem Heiligen Geiste.
Wie es war zu Anfang, jetzt und immerdar,
Und von Ewigkeit zu Ewigkeit, Amen.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son
And to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be,
Forever and ever. Amen.
Mendelssohn: Heilig, heilig ist Gott der Herr Zebaoth
Heilig, heilig, heilig, ist Gott der Herr Zebaoth!
Alle Lände sind seiner Ehre voll. Hosianna in der Höh! Gelobt sei der da kommt im Namen des Herrn! Hosianna in der Höh!
Holy, holy, holy Lord God of hosts!
All nations are fully of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Bruckner: Locus iste a Deo factus est
Locus iste a Deo factus est, inaestimabile sacramentum,
Irreprehensibilis est.
This place was made by God, a priceless mystery,
It is without reproof.
Bruckner: Virga Jesse floruit
Virga Jesse floruit:
Virgo Deum et hominem genuit:
Pacem Deus reddidit,
In se reconcilians ima summis. Alleluja.
The rod of Jesse has blossomed:
A virgin has brought forth one who was both God and man:
God has given back peace to men,
Reconciling the lowest with the highest to himself. Alleluia.
Bach: Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden, BWV 230 (Psalm 117)
Lobet den Herrn, alle Heiden;
Praise the Lord, all ye nations;
Preiset ihn, alle Völker!
Praise to him, all ye people;
Denn, seine Gnade und Wahrheit
For God, so gracious and righteous,
Waltet über uns in Ewigkeit.
Watches over us forever more.
Alleluja.
Alleluia.
