Stadler
Arr. for unison or four part chorus by N. A. M.

Allegro maestoso

Ecce Sacerdos magnus, qui in diebus suis placuit Deo:
Ideo jurejurando fecit illum Dominus crescere in plebem suam.
Benedictionem omnium gentium dedit illi,
et testamentum suum confirmavit super caput ejus.

Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto.
Ideo jurejurando fecit illum Dominus crescere in plebem suam.

THE HOLY SOULS: REQUIEMS

Languentibus in Purgatorio

Solesmes chant

Sixth Mode

1.
Languentibus in Purgatorio,
Qui purgantur ardore nimio,
Et torquentur gravi supplicio,
Subveniat tua compassio:
O Maria.

2.
Fons est patens qui culpas abluis,
Omnes juvas et nullum respuis:
Manum tuam extende mortuis,
Qui sub poenis lanquent continuis:
O Maria.

3.
Ad te pie suspirant mortui,
Cupientes de poenis erui,
Et ad esse tuo conspectui,
Aeternisque gaudiis perfrui:
O Maria.

4.
Et cum fiet stricta discussio,
In tremendo Dei judicio,
Judicanti supplica Filio,
Ut cum Sanctis sit nobis portio:
O Maria.
Amen.
