Translations of Introits and Anthems (February – March 2016)

Wednesday 3 February Evensong

Beati quorum via integra est, qui

ambulant in lege domini.

Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who

walk in the law of the Lord. Words: Psalm 119 v.1 Music: Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924)

Wednesday 10 February Evensong (psalm)

Miserere mei, Deus, secundum

magnam misericordiam tuam; et

secundum multitudinem

miserationum tuarum, dele

iniquitatem meam.

Amplius lava me ab iniquitate mea:

et a peccato meo munda me.

Quoniam iniquitatem meam ego

cognosco, et peccatum meum

contra me est semper.

Tibi soli peccavi, et malum coram te

feci; ut justificeris

in sermonibus tuis, et vincas cum

judicaris.

Ecce enim in iniquitatibus conceptus

sum: et in peccatis concepit me

mater mea.

Ecce enim veritatem dilexisti;

incerta et occulta sapientiae tuae

manifestasti mihi.

Asperges me hyssopo, et

mundabor; lavabis me,

et super nivem dealbabor.

Auditui meo dabis gaudium et

laetitiam: et exsultabunt ossa

humiliata.

Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy

great goodness: according to the multitude

of thy mercies do away mine offences.

Wash me throughly from my wickedness:

and cleanse me from my sin.

For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is

ever before me.

Against thee only have I sinned, and done

this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be

justified in thy saying, and clear when thou

art judged.

Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in

sin hath my mother conceived me.

But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward

parts: and shalt make me to understand

wisdom secretly.

Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I

shall be clean: thou shalt wash me,

and I shall be whiter than snow.

Thou shalt make me hear of joy and

gladness: that the bones which thou hast

broken may rejoice.

20

Averte faciem tuam a peccatis meis,

et omnes iniquitates meas dele.

Cor mundum crea in me, Deus, et

spiritum rectum innova in visceribus

meis.

Ne projicias me a facie tua, et

spiritum sanctum tuum ne auferas a

me.

Redde mihi laetitiam salutaris tui, et

spiritu principali confirma me.

Docebo iniquos vias tuas, et impii

ad te convertentur.

Libera me de sanguinibus, Deus,

Deus salutis meae, et exsultabit

lingua mea justitiam tuam.

Domine, labia mea aperies, et os

meum annuntiabit laudem tuam.

Quoniam si voluisses sacrificium,

dedissem utique; holocaustis non

delectaberis.

Sacrificium Deo spiritus

contribulatus; cor contritum et

humiliatum, Deus, non despicies.

Benigne fac, Domine, in bona

voluntate tua Sion, ut aedificentur

muri Jerusalem.

Tunc acceptabis sacrificium justitiae,

oblationes et holocausta; tunc

imponent super altare tuum vitulos.

Turn thy face from my sins:

and put out all my misdeeds.

Make me a clean heart, O God:

and renew a right spirit within me.

Cast me not away from thy presence: and

take not thy holy Spirit from me.

O give me the comfort of thy help again:

and stablish me with thy free Spirit.

Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked:

and sinners shall be converted unto thee.

Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God,

thou that art the God of my health: and my

tongue shall sing of thy righteousness.

Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: and my

mouth shall shew thy praise.

For thou desirest no sacrifice,

else would I give it thee: but thou

delightest not in burnt-offerings.

The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a

broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt

thou not despise.

O be favourable and gracious unto Sion:

build thou the walls of Jerusalem.

Then shalt thou be pleased with the

sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-

offerings and oblations: then shall they offer

young bullocks upon thine altar. Words: Psalm 51 Music: Gregorio Allegri (1582-1652)

poenitentiae, et invenire non possimus.

Attende, Domine, et miserere; quia

peccavimus tibi.

Adjuva nos, Deus salutaris noster, et

propter honorem nominis tui

libera nos.

Let us amend for the better in those

things in which we have sinned through

ignorance; lest suddenly overtaken by

the day of death, we seek space for

repentance, and be not able to find it.

Hearken, O Lord, and have mercy: for

we have sinned against thee.

for the honour of thy name

deliver us Words: Matins Responsory for Lent I and the Distribution of

Wednesday 24 February Evensong

Mein teurer Heiland, lass dich fragen,

Da du nunmehr ans Kreuz geschlagen

Und selbst gesagt: Es ist vollbracht,

Bin ich vom Sterben frei gemacht?

Kann ich durch deine Pein und Sterben

Das Himmelreich ererben?

Ist aller Welt Erlösung da?

Du kannst vor Schmerzen zwar nichts

sagen;

Doch neigest du das Haupt

Und sprichst stillschweigend: ja.

Jesu, der du warest tot

Lebest nun ohn' Ende,

In der letzten Todesnot

Nirgend mich hinwende

Als zu dir, der mich versühnt,

O mein trauter Herre!

Gib mir nur, was du verdient,

Mehr ich nicht begehre!

My precious Saviour, let me ask you,

now that you're nailed to the cross

and said yourself: it is accompished,

am I free from death?

Can I through your death and suffering

inherit the kingdom of Heaven?

Is the whole world redeemed?

In so much pain, you cannot

speak,

yet you nod your head

and silently announce: yes!

O Jesus, who were dead

and now lives eternally,

may I, in the last throes of death

turn nowhere else

than towards you, who redeemed me,

O my beloved Lord!

Just give me what you have earned,

for I desire nothing more! Words: from Bach’s ‘St John Passion’ Music: J. S. Bach’ Music: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

Friday 26 February Evensong

Miserere mei, Deus, secundum magnam

misericordiam tuam; et secundum

multitudinem miserationum tuarum,

great goodness: according to the

multitude of thy mercies,

do away mine offences. Words: Psalm 51 v. 1 Music: William Byrd (1543-1623)

O Mensch, bewein dein Sünde groß,

darum Christus sein’s Vaters Schoß

äußert und kam auf Erden.

Von einer Jungfrau zart und rein

und legt’ dabei all Krankheit ab,

bis sich die Zeit herdrange

daß er für uns geopfert würd’

trug’ unsrer Sünden schwere Bürd’

wohl an dem Kreuze lange.

O man, thy grievous sin bemoan,

for which Christ left his father's throne

from highest heaven descending.

Of virgin pure and undefiled

he here was born, our Saviour mild,

for sin to make atonement.

The dead he raised to life again,

the sick he freed from grief and pain,

until the time appointed

that he for us should give his blood,

should bear our sins' o'erwhelming load,

the shameful cross enduring. Words: Sebald Heyden (1525) Music: Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750)

Keep our hearts forever awake to you.

Your willing servants.

Restrain those that lie in wait.

And guide your servants whom

You have ransomed with your blood.

domina gentium, princeps

provinciarum facta est sub tributo.

BETH: Plorans ploravit in nocte,

et lacrimae eius in maxillis eius:

omnibus caris eius: omnes amici eius

spreverunt eam,

et facti sunt ei inimici.

Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad

Dominum Deum tuum.

Here beginneth the lamentation of

Jeremiah the prophet:

ALEPH: How doth the city sit solitary,

which was full of people! She become as a

widow! She that was great among the

nations, and princess among the provinces.

How is she become tributary!

BETH: She weepeth sore in the night,

and her tears are on her cheeks;

among all her lovers she hath none to

comfort her: all her friends have dealt

treacherously with her,

they are become her enemies.

De lamentatione Jeremiae prophetae:

GHIMEL. Migravit Juda propter

afflictionem ac multitudinem servitutis,

habitavit inter gentes, nec invenit requiem.

DALETH. Omnes persecutores eius

apprehenderunt eam inter angustias:

Lugent, eo quod non sint qui veniant ad

solemnitatem. Omnes portae eius

destructae, sacerdotes eius gementes,

virgines eius squalidae, et ipsa oppressa

amaritudine.

HE. Facti sunt hostes eius in capite, inimici

illius locupletati sunt; quia Dominus

locutus est super eam propter

multitudinem iniqutatum eius:

parvuli eius ducti sunt captivi ante faciem

tribulantis.

Ierusalem, Ierusalem, convertere ad

Dominum Deum tuum.

From the lamentation of Jeremiah

the prophet:

GHIMEL. Judah is gone into captivity

because of affliction, and because of

great servitude; she dwelleth among

the heathen, she findeth no rest.

DALETH. All her persecutors

overtook her within the straits: they

mourn, because none comes

to the solemn assembly. All her gates

are desolate, her priests sigh, her

virgins are afflicted,

and she herself is in bitterness.

HE. Her adversaries are become the

head, her enemies prosper; for the

Lord hath afflicted her for the

multitude of her transgressions;

her children are gone into captivity

before the adversary.

Jerusalem, Jerusalem, return unto the

Lord thy God. Words: Lamentations 1 vv. 3-5 Music: Thomas Tallis (1505-1585)
