Abendlied
Evening rise, Spirit come, sun goes down,
when the day is done.
Mother earth awakens me with the heartbeat of the sea.
Locus iste
Locus iste a Deo factus est, inaestimabile sacramentum,
irreprehensibilis est.
Ave Maria
Ave Maria, gratia plena, Dominus tecum.
Benedicta tu in mulieribus,
et benedictus fructus ventris tui, Iesus.
Sancta Maria, Mater Dei, ora pro nobis peccatoribus
nunc et in hora mortis nostrae.
Ubi Caritas
Ubi caritas et amor, Deus ibi est.
Congregavit nos in unum Christi amor.
Exultemus et in ipso iucundemur.
Timeamus et amemus Deum vivum.
De profundis
De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine:
Domine, exaudi orationem meam!
Earth Song
Sing, Be, Live, See.
This dark stormy hour, the wind, it stirs.
The scorched earth cries out in vain:
O war and power, you blind and blur,
The torn heart cries out in pain.
But music and singing have been my refuge,
and music and singing shall be my light.
A light of song shining strong: Alleluia!
Through darkness, pain, and strife,
I′ll Sing, Be, Live, See…Peace
God and the Universe
Will my tiny spark of being wholly vanish in your deeps and heights?
Must my day be dark by reason, O ye Heavens, of your boundless nights
Rush of Suns, and roll of systems, and your fiery clash of meteorites?
“Spirit, nearing yon dark portal at the limit of thy human state
Fear not thou the hidden purpose of that Power which alone is great
Nor the myriad world, His shadow, nor the silent Opener of the Gate.“
Lux aeterna
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine.
Cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Cum Sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
Lux aurumque
Lux, Calida gravisque pura velut aurum
Et canunt angeli molliter modo natum.
O nata lux
O nata lux de lumine Jesu redemptor saeculi
Dignare clemens supplicum laudes precesque sumere
Qui carne quondam contegi dignatus es pro perditis
Nos membra confer effici tui beati corporis
Northern Lights
Pulchra es, amica mea,
suavis et decora sicut Jerusalem,
terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata.
Averte oculos tuos a me
quia ipsi me avolare fecerunt.
Stars
Alone in the night on a dark hill
with pines around me spicy and still.
And heaven, a heaven full of stars over my head.
Oh misty red myriads of beating hearts of fire,
oh the eaons cannot vex or tire.
The dome of heaven like a great hill
and myriads of beating heart of fire.
Heaven full of stars.
I know, I am honored to be witness of so much majesty!
