7) Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring
Song Written by Johann Sebastian Bach
Jesu, joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round Thy throne
Through the way where hope is guiding
Hark, what peaceful music rings
Where the flock, in Thee confiding
Drink of joy from deathless springs
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown
Jesu, joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light
Word of God, our flesh that fashioned
With the fire of life impassioned
Striving still to truth unknown
Soaring, dying round Thy throne
Through the way where hope is guiding
Hark, what peaceful music rings
Where the flock, in Thee confiding
Drink of joy from deathless springs
Theirs is beauty's fairest pleasure
Theirs is wisdom's holiest treasure
Thou dost ever lead Thine own
In the love of joys unknown
Jesu, joy of man's desiring
Holy wisdom, love most bright
Drawn by Thee, our souls aspiring
Soar to uncreated light
8) Panis Angelicus
Song Written by César Franck
Panis angelicus
Fit panis hominum;
Dat panis cœlicus
Figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum
Pauper, pauper,
Servus et humilis,
Pauper, pauper,
Servus et humilis.
Te trina Deitas
Unaque poscimus:
Sic nos tu visita,
Sicut te colimus;
Per tuas semitas
Duc nos quo tendimus,
Ad lucem quam inhabitas
Ad lucem quam inhabitas.
Fit panis hominum;
Dat panis cœlicus
Figuris terminum:
O res mirabilis!
Manducat Dominum
Pauper, pauper,
Servus et humilis,
Pauper, pauper,
Servus et humilis.
Te trina Deitas
Unaque poscimus:
Sic nos tu visita,
Sicut te colimus;
Per tuas semitas
Duc nos quo tendimus,
Ad lucem quam inhabitas
Ad lucem quam inhabitas.
9) In Paradisum
Song Written by Gabriel Fauré
Latin
In paradisum deducant te angeli;
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.
Chorus angelorum te suscipiat,
et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
æternam habeas requiem.
English Translation:
May the angels lead you into paradise;
may the martyrs receive you at your arrival
and lead you to the holy city Jerusalem.
May a chorus of angels receive you,
and with Lazarus, once a poor man,
may you have eternal rest.
In paradisum deducant te angeli;
in tuo adventu suscipiant te martyres,
et perducant te in civitatem sanctam Jerusalem.

et cum Lazaro quondam paupere
æternam habeas requiem.
English Translation:
