Ravenscroft: Remember O Thou Man
Collegium Vocale Gent, conducted by Peter Dijkstra

Remember O thou man
thy time is spent:
how thou art dead and gone,
And I did what I can,
therefore repent!

Remember Adam’s fall
o thou man
From heav’n to hell!
How we were condemned all
In hell perpetual,
There for to dwell.

Remember God’s goodness,
o thou man,
And promise made!
How he sent his son, doubtless
Our sins for to redress:
Be not afraid!

The angels all did sing,
o thou man,
On heav’n's high hill;
Praise to our hean’nly King,
And peace to man living,
With a good will.

In Bethlem He was born,
o thou man,
For mankind’s sake;
For us that were forlorn,
And therefore took no scorn,
Our flesh to take.

Give thanks to God always,
o thou man,
with heart most joylly,
For this is our happy day,
let all men sing and say:
“Holy, Holy!”

Tatiana Vlasenko: Carol

I requested a translation of the carol and so far all someone could supply me with is this “Son is born. Rejoice!” Maybe a blog reader can fill us in on more?

Morten Lauridsen: O Nata Lux
University of Delaware Vocal Group

O nata lux de lumine,
Jesu redemptor saeculi,
dignare clemens supplicum
laudes preces que sumere.
Qui carne quondam contegi
dignatus es pro perditis.
Nos membra confer effici,
tui beati corporis.

Translation:
O born light of light,
Jesus, redeemer of the world,
mercifully deem worthy and accept
the praises and prayers of your supplicants.
Thou who once deigned to be clothed in flesh
for the sake of the lost ones,
grant us to be made members
of your holy body.
