Hope Was Born This Night - Sidewalk Prophets

 But the angel said to them, “Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people. Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger.”

 Suddenly a great company of the heavenly host appeared with the angel, praising God and saying,

 “Glory to God in the highest heaven,
   and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Luke 2:10-14

We Remember

Lacrymosa dies illa

qua resurget ex favilla

judicandus homo reus;

huic ergo parce Deus.

Pie Jesu, Domine,

dona eis requiem.

Amen.

 Oh, this day full of tears

when from the ashes arises

guilty man, to be judged:

Oh Lord, have mercy upon him.

Gentle Lord Jesus,

grant them rest.

Amen.

Hostias et preces tibi, Domine,

laudius offerimus,

tu suscipe pro animabus illis,

quarum hodie memorarium facimus:

quam olim Abrahae promisisti

et semini ejus.

Lord, in praise we offer to Thee

sacrifices and prayers,

receive them for the souls of those 

whom we remember this day:

as Thou didst promise Abraham

and his seed.

{from Mozart's Requiem Mass in D Minor, K. 626}
