2.Mit Wurd Und Hoheit Angetan (From Die Shopfung)

Mit Würd' und Hoheit angetan,
Mit Schönheit, Stärk' und Mut begabt,
Gen Himmel aufgerichtet steht der Mensch,
Ein Mann und König der Natur.

Die breit gewölbt' erhabne Stirn
Verkünd't der Weisheit tiefen Sinn,
Und aus dem hellen Blicke strahlt der Geist
des Schöpfers Hauch und Ebenbild.
Und aus dem hellen Blicke strahlt der Geist
des Schöpfers Hauch und Ebenbild.

An seinen Busen schmieget sich
Für ihn, aus ihm geformt,
Die Gattin, hold und anmutsvoll
Die Gattin, hold und anmutsvoll

In froher Unschuld lächelt sie,
Des Frühlings reizend Bild,
Ihm Liebe, Glück und Wonne zu.
In froher Unschuld lächelt sie,
Des Frühlings reizend Bild,

Ihm Liebe, Glück und Wonne zu.

4.Irish Blessing

May the road rise to meet you,
May the wind be ever at your back.
May the sunshine warm upon your face,
And the rains fall soft upon your fields.
And until we meet again.
May God hold you, May God hold you
Ever in the palm of His hand.

6.Plegaria

Dios te salve, Maria,
reina y Madre,
dulzura, vida y esperanza nuestra.
Ruegan a ti los tristes hijos de Eva.
Misericordia! Misericordia! Misericordia!

A vos senora, la santa Virgen,
luz de quien toma su luz el sol;
la flor divina de la montana,
reina del cielo, Madre de Dios.

A vos senora, mi alma, mis suenos,
mis esperanzas, mi corazon,
cuanto mi vida tiene de vida,
cuanto mi pecho tiene de amor.

Cuando a mi llegue la hora suprema,
Madre sin mancha del Redentor.
Haced que entonces, santa Madonna,
antes que cierre mis ojos Dios.

Haced que vea de luz rodeados
y entre los tules del arrebol
los tres divinos fieles amigos,
los tres amores que angeles son.

Los tres amores que Dios me dio.
Amor al hombre, Amor de Patria,
Amor de Patria y amor de Dios.

Lyricist:Monsignor Pablo Calino, David Delargy, Mike Hedges, Sara
Dorothy Mar Herbert, Salli Isaak, Henry Francis Lyte, William H
Monk, Eugene O'hagan, Martin O'hagan

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens, Lord with me abide
When other helpers fail and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, oh abide with me

I need Thy presence every passing hour
What but Thy grace can foil the tempter's power?
Who like Thyself my guide and stay can be?
Through cloud and sunshine Lord abide with me

Hold thou Thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
Heaven's morning breaks and earth's vain shadows flee
In life, in death oh Lord abide with me

In the granary of God, may we be taken

Ag Criost an Mhuir, ag Criost an t-iasc
With Christ of the sea, with Christ of the fishes

I lionta De go gcastar sinn,
In the lines of God may we be entwined.

O fhas go h-aois, is o aois go bas
From growth to age and from age to death

Do dha laimh a Chriost anall tharainn
Your two hands o Christ hither draw us.

O bhas go crioch, ni crioch ach athfhas
From death to the end, not the end, but all eternity

I bParrthas na nGrast go rabhaimid
In paradise of the blessed may we reside.


**(This is an old Sean O' Riada air set to words in honor of the
pope's visit to
Ireland in September 1979. Paddy was one of the first people to
introduce this
song in it's 'Sean-Nos' style to audiences and congregations on
both sides of
the Atlantic. It's plaintive, mystical air has been heard at
many, many Irish
funerals as well as Irish weddings where the lyrics remind all
of the eternal
cycles of growth, age, death, and beyond to the paradise of the
blessed.)


11.Domine Fili Unigente (From Gloria)

**This is the full verse, but in this movement, only the 1st
sentence is used repeatedly in the entire song:

Domine Fili unigenite Iusu Christe
Deus Pater
Laudamus Te, benedicimus Te
adoramus Te, glorificamus Te,
Gloria in excelsis Deo
et in terra pax hominibus, bonae voluntatis


12.O Holy Night

Lyricist:Adolphe Adam, Monsignor Pablo Calino, David Delargy, Mike
Hedges, Sara Dorothy Herbert, Salli Isaak, Eugene O'hagen,
Martin O'hagen

Oh holy night, the stars are brightly shining
It is the night of the dear Savior's birth
Long lay the world in sin and error pining
'Til He appeared and the soul felt its worth

A thrill of hope, the weary world rejoices
For yonder breaks a new and glorious morn
Fall on your knees, oh hear the angel voices
Oh night divine, oh night when Christ was born
Oh night divine, oh night, oh night divine

Led by the light of faith serenely beaming
With glowing hearts by His cradle we stand
So led by light of a star sweetly gleaming
Here came the wise men from the Orient land

The King of kings lay thus lowly manger
In all our trials born to be our friends
He knows our need, He guardeth us from danger
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend
Behold your King, before Him lowly bend


13.Ecce Sacerdos

Ecce Sacerdos Magnus
Ecce Sacerdos Magnus
Qui in diebus sui, placuit de--o
Ecce Sacerdos Magnus
Ecce- Sa-cerdos Magnus
Qui in diebus sui, qui in diebus sui -

Placuit Deo

Tenor and Bass
Non est inventus, similis i-lli
Qui conser-varet legem excelsis

Soprano and Alto
Non est inventus, similis i-lli
Qui conser-varet legem excelsis


14.Be Still My Soul

Be still my soul the Lord is on your side
Bear patiently the cross of grief or pain
Leave to your God to order and provide
In every change God faithful will remain
Be still my soul, your best, your heavenly friend
Through thorny ways leads to a joyful end

Be still my soul the hour is hastening on
When we shall be forever with the Lord
When disappointment, grief and fears are gone
Sorrow forgot, love's purest joys restored
Be still my soul when change and tears are past
All safe and blessed we shall meet at last


15.A Losa Behain
