Riu, Riu, Chiu Anonymous(sung in Latin)

Riu, riu, chiu, guard our homes in safety.God has kept the black wolf from our Lamb, our lady.

Gloria (from “Missa Criolla”) Ariel Ramirez

Glory to God, from the valley and every mountain and for his children, peace.We will praise Thee, and we will bless Thee, we adore Thee,

we glorify Thee, now let us thank Thee, O Lord God our heavenly King.Lord God our own Jesus Christ, Son of heaven,

sweet Lamb of God, Son of the Father.O Lord, forgive the sins of your children and have mercy upon us.

O, hear your children praying.You, my Lord, alone are Holy, Lord God our Saviour,

You, dear Jesus, Son of the Father,Father , Son and Holy Ghost.

Glory, Amen.

Cantique De Jean Racine, Op. 11 Gabriel Faure (1845-1924)(sung in French)

O Redeemer divine, our soul hope of salvation,Eternal Light of the earth and the sky,

on this Thy holy day, we kneel in adoration, o Saviour,Turn on us Thy loving eye.

Send down on us the fire of Thy grace all consuming,whose wondrous might dispersed the powers of hell

and rouse our slumbering souls with radiance all illuminating,that they may waken Thy mercy to tell.

O Christ bestow Thy blessing on us, we implore Thee,who here are gathered on penitant knee,

accept the hymns we chant to Thine everlasting glory and these thy giftswe return to Thee.

Hope For Resolution Paul Caldwell and Sean Ivory(sung in Zulu)

Nation, do not cry. Jehovah will protect us. We will attain freedom.

Gratias tibi Tarik O’Regan(sung in Latin)

My God, in whom is my delight, my glory, and my trust,I thank you for your gifts and beg you to preserve and keep them for me.

For I should not exist if it were not by your gift.

~ St. Augustine (354-390)

O admirabile commercium Jacob Handl (1550-1591)(sung in Latin)

O wondrous interchange! The Creator of the human race, assuming a living body,

has deigned to be born of a virgin,and issuing forth unbegotten, he has bestowed upon us his divinity.
