Text: Impetum inimicorum

Jacob Handl (1550–1591)

Original Text English Translation
 
Impetum inimicorum ne timueritis:
memores estote
quomodo salvi facti sunt patres nostri,
in mari rubro
et nunc clamemus in coelum
et miserebitur
nostri Dominus Deus noster.
You should not fear the attack of enemies:
be mindful
how our fathers were saved
in the Red Sea,
and now let us cry to heaven
and the Lord our God
will have mercy on us.
