Jerusalem gaude gaudio magno

Jacob Handl (1550-1591)

Original Text

English Translation

 

Jerusalem, gaude gaudio magno,
quia veniet tibi salvator.
Alleluia.

Jerusalem, rejoice with great joy,
for the savior will come to you. 
Alleluia.

 

Dabo in Sion salutem,
et in Jerusalem gloriam meam.
Alleluia.

I will place in Zion my salvation,
and in Jerusalem my glory.
Alleluia.

 

Montes et colles humiliabuntur
et erunt prava in directa
et aspera in vias planas.

The mountains and hills will be made low,
and the crooked will become straight
and the rough smooth paths.

 

Veni, Domine, et noli tardare
Alleluia.

Come, Lord, and do not be late. 
Alleluia.

 

Juste et pie vivamus
expectantes beatam spem
et adventum Domini. 
Alleluia.

Let us live justly and dutifully,
awaiting a blessed hope
and the coming of the Lord.
Alleluia.


This piece was performed by the SFBC in Psallite! A Candlelight Christmas on December 4, 2004.
