Voce di donna (Ponchielli)
(La Cieca's aria from La Gioconda)
Voce di donna o d'angelo
Le mie catene ha sciolto;
Mi vietan le mie tenebre
Di quella santa il volto,
Pure da me non pàrtasi
Senza un pietoso don!
A te questo rosario
Che le preghiere aduna;
Io te lo porgo, accettalo,
Ti porterà fortuna;
Sulla tua testa vigili
La mia benedizion.
O voice of woman or angel
Who has freed me of my chains,
My blindness forbids me
The sight of your saintly face.
Still you cannot leave me
Without a pious offering.
I offer you this rosary,
Pray, accept it.
With my prayers added
It will bring you luck.
May my benediction
Be on your head.

Ave, Verum Corpus (Mozart K618)
Ave, verum corpus,
Natum de Maria Virgine,
Vere passum immolatum
In Cruce pro homine,
Cujus latus perforatum
Unda fluxit et sanguine,
Esto nobis praegustatum
In mortis examine.
Hail, true body
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Who truly suffered, sacrificed
On the Cross for man,
Whose pierced side overflowed
With water and blood,
Be for us a foretaste
In the test of death.

Stella del marinar (Ponchielli)
(Laura's aria from La Gioconda)
Ho il cor gonfio di lagrime.
Quel lume! Ah! Una Madonna!
Stella del marinar!
Vergine Santa, tu mi difendi in quest'ora suprema,
Tu vedi quanta passione
E quanta fede mi trasse a tale audacia estrema!
Sotto il tuo velo che i prostrati ammanta
Ricovera costei che prega, e trema.
Scenda per questa fervida orazione
Sul capo mio, Madonna del perdono, una benedizion...
O Vergin…
My heart is swollen with tears.
That light! Ah! A Madonna!
Star of the mariner!
You defend me in this hour supreme,
You see how much passion
And how much faith drew me to this extreme audacity!
Under your veil that cloaks the wretched,
Shelter me as I pray and tremble.
With this fervent prayer
May a blessing descend on my head,
Mother of pardon, a blessing…
O virgin…

O, Divine Redeemer! (Charles Gounod)
Ah! Turn me not away,
Receive me tho' unworthy;
Hear Thou my cry,
Behold, Lord, my distress!
Answer me from thy throne
Haste Thee Lord, to mine aid,
Thy pity show in my deep anguish!
Let not the sword of vengeance smite me,
Though righteous thine anger, O Lord!
Shield me in danger, O regard me!
On Thee, Lord alone, will I call.
O Divine Redeemer!
I pray Thee, grant me pardon,
And remember not, remember not my sins!
Forgive me, O Divine Redeemer!
Night gathers round my soul;
Fearful, I cry to Thee;
Come to mine aid, O Lord!
Haste Thee, Lord, haste to help me!
Hear my cry! Save me Lord in Thy mercy;
Come and save me O Lord.
Save, in the day of retribution,
From death shield Thou me, O my God!
O Divine Redeemer, have mercy!
Help me, my Saviour!

Hail Redeemer, King Divine (Brennan)
(Mus. Setting ‘Just a Wearyin’ for you’ - Jacobs-Bond)
Hail Redeemer, King divine!
Priest and Lamb, the throne is thine;
King, whose reign shall never cease,
Prince of everlasting peace.
Angels, saints and nations sing:
“Praise be Jesus Christ our King!”
Flowing streams, O King of grace,
Drenched thy crowned head and face;
Floods of love's redeeming tide
Tore Thy hands, Thy feet, and side. Lord of life, earth, sky and sea,
King of love on Calvary!
Sing with joy, “Thy will be done”,
"Christ our God, Your kingdom come!”
To the King of ages, then, Honour, glory, love, "Amen" Angels, saints and nations sing:
“Praise be Jesus Christ our King!”

Oh dischiuso è il firmamento! (Verdi)
(Fenena's aria from Nabucco)
Oh dischiuso è il firmamento!
Al Signor lo spirto anela...
Ei m'arride, e cento e cento
Gaudi eterni a me disvela!
O splendor degl'astri, addio!
Me di luce irradia iddio!
Già dal fral, che qui ne impiomba,
Fugge l'alma e vola al ciel!
Oh, the firmament is opened up!
My soul longs for the Lord ...
He smiles upon me and reveals to me
hundred upon hundred of joys everlasting!
Oh, splendour of the stars, farewell!
God floods me with His holy light!
From this mortal body that, heavy as lead, detains us here,
my soul escapes already and wings its way to heaven!

Pietà, Signore (Anon.)
(Attrib.Stradella)
Pietà, Signore, di me dolente!
Signor, pietà.
Se a te giunge il mio pregar;
Non mi punisca il tuo rigor,
Meno severi, clementi ognora,
Volgi i tuoi sguardi sopra di me.
Non fia mai che nell’inferno
Sia dannato nel fuoco eterno dal tuo rigor.
Gran Dio, giammai…
Have mercy, Lord, on me in my remorse!
Lord, have mercy.
If my prayer rises to you;
Do not punish me in your severity,
Less harshly, always mercifully,
Turn your eyes upon me.
Never let me be condemned to hell
In the eternal fire, by your severity.
Almighty God, never….

Laudate Dominum (Mozart)
(From: Vesperae solennes de confessore K339)
Laudate Dominum, omnes gentes;
Laudate eum, omnes populi,
Quoniam confirmata est
Super nos misericordia eius,
Et veritas Domini manet in aeternum.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.
Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper.
Et in saecula saeculorum.
Amen.
Praise the Lord, all nations;
Praise Him, all people.
For He has bestowed
His mercy upon us,
And the truth of the Lord endures forever.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and forever,
And for all ages.
Amen.

His Eye is on the Sparrow (Martin/Gabriel)
Why should I feel discouraged, why should the shadows come,
Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav’n and home,
When Jesus is my portion? My constant friend is He:
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.
I sing because I’m happy,
I sing because I’m free,
For His eye is on the sparrow,
And I know He watches me.
“Let not your heart be troubled,” His tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my doubts and fears; I draw the closer to Him, from care He sets me free;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He watches me.

He's Got The Whole World In His Hands
(Negro Spiritual, arr. by Margaret Bonds)
He's got the whole world in His hand. (x4)
He's got the wood and the waters in His hand,
He's got the sun and the moon right in His hand,
He's got the whole world in His hand.
He's got the birds and the bees right in His hand,
He's got the beasts of the field right in His hand,
He’s got the whole world in His hand.
He's got you and me right in His hand,
He's got everybody in His hand,
He's got the whole world in His hand.
