All My Trials, arr. Bob Chilcott
Taipei Chamber Singers
Conductor: Bob Chilcott

If religion was a thing that money could buy,
the rich would live and the poor would die.
All my trials, Lord, soon be? over.
oh I have a little book that sets me free, and every page spells liberty.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.
Too late my brothers!
Too late, but never mind.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.
So hush little baby don’t you cry, you know that man was born to die.
All my trials, Lord, soon be over.

Another Marian hymn …

To our very high Lord our only hope
This eternal day of the earth and of the night
Saviour we are breaking the divine silence
Saviour direct your divine sight on us
Spread on us the fire of your powerful grace,
so that all evil disappears at the sound of your voice.
God wakes up the languished soul from his sleep
Christ be kind to your people
Receive their songs as a gift to your immortal glory
And the people shall receive peace in return.

Franz Tunder: Nisi Dominus
TENET and Spiritus Collective

English translation
1. Unless the Lord build the house, they labour in vain that build it.
Unless the Lord keep the city, he watcheth in vain that keepeth it.
2. It is vain for you to rise before light,
rise ye after you have sitten, you that eat the bread of sorrow.
When he shall give sleep to his beloved,
3. behold the inheritance of the Lord are children: the reward, the fruit of the womb.
4. As arrows in the hand of the mighty, so the children of them that have been shaken.
5. Blessed is the man that hath filled the desire with them;
he shall not be confounded when he shall speak to his enemies in the gate.
Glory to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, and now and always,
and to ages of ages. Amen.

Ryan Cayabyab: Anima Christi
Ateneo Chamber Singers

Soul of Christ, be my sanctification;
Body of Christ, be my salvation;
Blood of Christ, fill all my veins;
Water of Christ’s side, wash out my stains;
Passion of Christ, my comfort be;
O good Jesus, listen to me;
In Thy wounds I fain would hide;
Ne’er to be parted from Thy side;
Guard me, should the foe assail me;
Call me when my life shall fail me;
Bid me come to Thee above,
With Thy saints to sing Thy love,
World without end.
Amen.

Henry Purcell: An Evening Hymn
Andreas Scholl, Countertenor; Accademia Bizantina; Conducted by Stefano Montanari

Now, now that the sun hath veil’d his light
And bid the world goodnight;
To the soft bed my body I dispose,
But where shall my soul repose?
Dear, dear God, even in Thy arms,
And can there be any so sweet security!
Then to thy rest, O my soul!
And singing, praise the mercy
That prolongs thy days.
Hallelujah!
