The ChantCast

We are quickly approaching Lent, so I though we would learn this beautiful Lenten chant “Attende Domine”

Attende Domine (PDF)

Literal Translation:

Ref:

Hear us O Lord and show Your mercy;
for we have sinned before You.

V. 1

To You most high King, Redeemer of all people,
our eyes are lifted to You in tears (or weeping).
O Christ, hear us, hear our prayers.

V. 2

Right hand of the Father, corner stone, way of salvation,gate of heaven,
cleanse us from the stain of sin.

V. 3

We confess and admit our sins, with contrite heart,
we lay bare what was hidden, loving Redeemer, grant us pardon

Chant Cast #5 – Creator Alme Siderum (Creator of the starry skies). I know it’s been a long time, and I hope that I can keep this going on a pretty regular basis. I have a few recorded and almost ready to go. Enjoy the new website and leave your feedback!

Creator Alme Siderum (PDF)

English Translation:

1. Creator of the starry skies!
Eternal Light of all who live!
Jesus, Redeemer of mankind!
An ear to Thy poor suppliants give.

2. When man was sunk in sin and death,
Lost in the depth of Satan’s snare,
Love brought Thee down to cure our ills,
By taking of those ills a share.

3. Thou, for the sake of guilty men,
Causing Thine own pure blood to flow,
Didst issue from Thy virgin shrine
And to the cross a Victim go.

4. So great the glory of Thy might,
If we but chance Thy name to sound
At once all heaven and hell unite
In bending low with awe profound.

5. Great Judge of all! in that last day
When friends shall fail and foes combine,
Be present then with us, we pray,
To guard us with Thine arm divine.

6. Power, honor, praise, and glory,
to God the Father and the Son,
and also to the holy Paraclete,
while eternal ages run.
