Just one?! At the moment ... Pie Jesu « Thread Started on Jan 8, 2009, 9:01pm »
There are so many hymns, mostly traditional, but a few modern ones, that lift me up, or inspire me, or calm me.
Right at the moment I've been listening to Pie Jesu via YouTube - it's a very serene and calming melody - here are the lyrics:
Pie Jesu, pie Jesu, pie Jesu, pie Jesu Qui tollis peccata mundi Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem
Pie Jesu, pie Jesu, pie Jesu, pie Jesu Qui tollis peccata mundi Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem
Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei, Agnus Dei Qui tollis peccata mundi Dona eis requiem, dona eis requiem Dona eis requiem Sempiternam Dona eis requiem Sempiternam Requiem Sempiternam
An approximate translation from the Latin is:
Sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus Who takes away the sins of the world Grant them eternal rest, Grant us peace
Sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus, sweet Jesus Who takes away the sins of the world Grant them eternal rest, Grant us peace
Oh Lamb of God, Oh Lamb of God, Oh Lamb of God, Oh Lamb of God Who takes away the sins of the world Grant them eternal rest, Grant us peace Grant us peace Everlasting Grant them rest Everlasting
