Introitus  

Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis
Te decet hymnus, Deus, in Sion
et tibi redetur votum
in Jerusalem:
exaudi orationem meam,
ad te omnis caro veniet.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine:
et lux perpetua luceat eis.

In Te, Domine, Speravi

Tu ad liberandum suscepturus
hominem
non horruisti Virginis uterum.
Tu devicto mortis aculeo,
aperuisti credentibus regna
cœlorum.  

Exortum est in tenebris lumen rectis.

Miserere nostri, Domine,
miserere nostri.
Fiat misericordia tua, Domine,
super nos
quemadmodum speravimus in te.
In te Domine, speravi:
non confundar in aeternum.     

O Nata Lux

O nata lux de lumine,
Jesu redemptor saeculi,
dignare clemens supplicum
laudes preces que sumere.
Qui carne quondam contegi
dignatus es pro perditis.
Nos membra confer effici,
tui beati corporis.   


Veni, Sancte Spiritus

Veni, Sancte Spiritus,
Et emitte cœlitus
Lucis tuae radium.
Veni, pater pauperum,
Veni, dator munerum,
Veni, lumen cordium. 

Consolator optime,
Dulcis hospes animae,
Dulce refrigerium.
In labore requies,
In aestu temperies,
In fletu solatium. 

O lux beatissima,
Reple cordis intima
Tuorum fidelium.
Sine tuo numine,
Nihil est in homine,
Nihil est innoxium. 

Lava quod est sordidum,
Riga quod est aridum,
Sana quod est saucium.
Flecte quod est rigidum,
Fove quod est frigidum,
Rege quod est devium.         

Da tuis fidelibus,
In te confidentibus,
Sacrum septenarium.
Da virtutis meritum,
Da salutis exitum,
Da perenne gaudium.

Agnus Dei – Lux Aeterna

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem.
Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem
sempiternam.
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine:
Cum sanctis tuis in aeternum:
quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine,
et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Alleluia. Amen. 



And Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
A hymn befits thee, O God in Zion,
and to the a vow shall be fulfilled
in Jerusalem:
Hear my prayer,
for unto thee all flesh shall come.
Rest eternal grant to them,
O Lord, and let perpetual light shine
upon them.


To deliver us, you became human,
and did not disdain the Virgin’s womb.
Having blunted the sting of death, You
opened the kingdom of heaven to all
believers.  

A light has risen in the darkness for the upright.

Have mercy upon us, O Lord,
have mercy upon us.
Let thy mercy be upon us, O Lord,
as we have trusted in thee.
In thee, O Lord, I have trusted:
let me never be confounded.     




O born light of light,
Jesus, redeemer of the world,
mercifully deem worthy and accept
praises and prayers from your supplicants.
Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh for the sake of the lost ones,
grant us to be made members of
your holy body.   




Come, Holy Spirit,
Send forth from heaven
The ray of thy light.
Come, Father of the poor,
Come, giver of gifts,
Come, light of hearts. 

Thou best of Consolers,
Sweet guest of the soul,
Sweet refreshment.
In labor, thou art rest,
In heat, the tempering,
In grief, the consolation. 

O light most blessed,
Fill the inmost heart
Of all thy faithful.
Without your grace,
There is nothing in us,
Nothing that is not harmful. 

Cleanse what is sordid,
Moisten what is arid,
Heal what is hurt.
Flex what is rigid,
Fire what is frigid,
Correct what goes astray.

Grant to thy faithful,
Those that trust in thee,
Thy sacred seven-fold gifts.
Grant the reward of virtue,
Grant the deliverance of salvation,
Grant everlasting joy.



Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest.
Lamb of God, who takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest
everlasting.
May eternal light shine upon them, O Lord,
in the company of thy Saints for ever and ever; for thou art merciful.
Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord,
and let perpetual light shine upon them.
Alleluia. Amen.

TODAY’S CONCERT PRESENTED IN PART BY THE MONTVIEW SACRED CONCERT FUND
Founded by Conductor and Composer John Kuzma, the Montview Sacred Concert Fund promotes important sacred major concert work repertoire through free annual
performances.

Past concerts include Paul Hindemith’s When Lillacs Last in the Dooryard Bloom’d, Dvorak: Mass in D and Duke
Ellington’s Sacred Concert.

The fund has also commissioned important new works such as Let The River Flow, a 16-movement jazz mass by Ike Sturm and Chanda Rule, a full orchestral realization of Nancy Galbraith’s Missa Mysterium, and a multitude of works by young composers through the John Kuzma Young Composers Award.

Montview’s Sacred Concert Fund is vital to the continuation of these deeply moving pieces of music. It is only through and with your support that this will happen. Please consider making a tax-deductible donation today.
