Ecce beatam lucem;
Ecce bonum sempiternum,
Vos turba electa celebrate Jehovam eiusque natum
aequalem Patri deitatis splendorem.
Virtus Alma et maiestas
passim cenend'ad est.
Quantum decoris illustri in sole,
quam venusta es luna,
quam multo clar'honore sidera fulgent,
quam pulcra quaequ'in orbe.
O quam perennis esca
tam sanctas mentes pascit!
praesto gratia et amor, praesta nec novum;
praesto est fons perpes vitae.
Hic Patriarchae cum Prophetis, hic David,
Rex David ille vates,
cantans sonans adhuc aeternum Deum.
O mel et dulce nectar, O fortunatum sedem!
Haec voluptas, haec quies, haec meta hic scopus
Nos hinc attrahunt recta in paradisum.Perhaps as performed by The Huelgas Ensemble?
Anyone know any Latin?
Can you tell me what the text means?
This, however, is a mistake.
It's always a disappointment finding out.
