INTROITUS & KYRIE | Eternal rest give unto them, O Lord. And let perpetual light shine upon them. A hymn, O God, becometh Thee in Zion. And a vow shall be paid to thee in Jerusalem. Hear my prayer. All flesh shall come before you.
Lord, have mercy on us. Christ, have mercy on us. Lord, have mercy on us.
SANCTUS | Holy, holy, holy. Lord God of hosts! Heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest!
AGNUS DEI | O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, grant them rest. O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, grant them eternal rest. (Medieval Latin Liturgy)
HARK I HEAR THE HARPS ETERNAL | Hark, I Hear the harps eternal ringing on the farther shore. As I near those swollen waters with their deep and solemn roar. Hallelujah, praise the lamb. Hallelujah, Glory to the great I am. And my soul though stained with sorrow, fading as the light of day passed swiftly over those waters to the city far away. Refrain. Souls have crossed before me saintly to that land of perfect rest. And I hear them singing faintly in the mansions of the blest. Refrain. (Frederic Rowland Marvin)
MARY HINES | She is the sky of the sun! She is the dart of love! She is the love of my heart! She is a rune! She is above the women of the race of Eve, as the sun is above the moon! Lovely and airy the view from the hill that looks down from Ballylea! But no good sight is good, until you see the blossom of branches walking towards you, airily. (Reincarnations by James Stephens based on Antoine Ó Raifteirí)
ANTHONY O’DALY | Anthony! Since your limbs were laid out the stars do not shine! The fish leap not out in the waves! On our meadows the dew does not fall in the morn, for O Daly is dead! Not a flow’r can be born! Not a word can be said! Not a tree have a leaf! On our meadows the dew does not fall in the morn, for O Daly is dead! Anthony! After you there is nothing to do! There is nothing but grief! (Stephens)
THE COOLIN | Come with me, under my coat, and we will drink our fill of the milk of the white goat, or wine if it be thy will. And we will talk, until talk is a trouble, too, out on the side of the hill; And nothing is left to do, but an eye to look into an eye, and a hand in a hand to slip; and a sigh to answer a sigh; And a lip to find out a lip! What if the night be black! And the air on the mountain chill! Where all but the fern is still! Stay with me, under my coat! and we will drink our fill of the milk of the white goat, out on the side of the hill! (Stephens)
HOW LONG | How long, O Lord, will Thou forget me? How long will Thou hide Thy face from me? How long must I suffer anguish in my soul and grief in my heart? How long, O Lord? Look now and answer me, O Lord. Give light, O Lord, give light to my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death. I will lift up mine eyes to the hills from whence cometh my help. (Based on Psalm 13)
THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD | Alleluia. The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside still waters. He restoreth my soul: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. (Psalm 23)
