Flower of jasmine, so fair!
Flower of jasmine, so fair!
Budding and blooming here and there,
Pure and fragrant all do declare.
Let me pick you with tender care, Sweetness for all to share.
Jasmine fair, oh Jasmine fair.

Cunctipotens genitor (c. 1000–1100) Anonymous medieval organum
Almighty Father, God,
Creator of all things, have mercy.
Christ, the splendor of God, Strength and wisdom of the Father, have mercy. The Holy breath, the fusion and love of both, have mercy.
Alleluya (Nativitas) Perotin (c.1200) Logan Bishop & Danny Di Girolamo, tenors
Jesu, Rex admirabilis (1586) Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina (c.1525–1594)
Jesus, wondrous king
And noble conqueror, Sweetness most ineffable
In whom all joys are found,
Remain with us, Lord, And shine your light upon us, Drive away the darkness of our minds, Fill the world with sweetness.
Heu me Domine Inviolata (1553)
Vicente Lusitano (c.1520–1561)
Alas, Lord, for we have sinned too much in my life! poor wretch, what shall I do, where shall I flee, but to you, my God?
Free me, Lord, from eternal death on the awful day; When Heaven and earth move.
Nunc Dimittis (1915) Gustav Holst (1874–1934)
Lord, now latest thou thy servant Depart in peace according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared Before the face of all people. To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, And to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, And to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, And ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

Word of the Highest, our only hope, Eternal day of earth and the heavens, We break the silence of the peaceful night; Saviour Divine, cast your eyes upon us!
Pour on us the fire of your powerful grace, That all hell may flee at the sound of your voice; Banish the slumber of a weary soul, That brings forgetfulness of your laws!
O Christ, look with favour upon your faithful people Now gathered here to praise you; Receive their hymns offered to your immortal glory; May they go forth filled with your gifts.

I am lost to the world With which I used to waste much time; It has for so long known nothing of me, It may well believe that I am dead. Nor am I at all concerned If it should think that I am dead. Nor can I deny it, For truly I am dead to the world. I am dead to the world’s tumult And rest in a quiet realm!
I live alone in my heaven, In my love, in my song!
arr. Stanley Hoffman/Reed Criddle
Ama Namin (1999)
Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, The power, and the glory, For ever and ever. Amen.
