Knut Nystedt: I Will Greatly Rejoice
The Concordia Choir; Michael Culloton, Conductor

I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, for my soul shall exult in my God;
for He has clothed me with the garments of salvation,
He has covered me with the robe of righteousness,
as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland,
and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
For as the earth brings forth its shoots,
and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise
to spring forth before all the nations. (Isaiah 61:10-11)

Pierre de la Rue: O Saluters Hostia
Junges Ensemble Dresden

O saving Victim, opening wide
The gate of Heaven to man below;
Our foes press hard on every side;
Thine aid supply; thy strength bestow.
To thy great name be endless praise,
Immortal Godhead, One in Three.
Oh, grant us endless length of days,
In our true native land with thee.
Amen.

Alleluia.
