The Lamentations of Jeremiah (1946). . ~ . , Alberto Ginasterao Vos Ommes Qui Transitis Per ViamAM! All ye that pass by, behold, and see if there be any sorrowlike unto my sorrow, which is done unto me, wherewith the Lord hathafflicted me in the day of his fierce anger.Ego Vir Videns Paupertatem MeamI am the man that hath seen affliction by the rod of his wrath. Hehath led me and brought me into darkness, but not into light. Also,when I cry and shout, he snuttetn out my prayer.Recordare Domine Quid Acciderit NobisRemember, 0 Lord, what is oome upon us: consider, and behold

our reproach.Turn thou us unto thee, 0 Lord, and we shaH be turned;

renew our days as of old.
