Daemon Irrepit Callidus
Music: György Orbán
Text: Traditional

Daemon irrepit calidus, 
Allicit cor honoribus. 
Quid amabile Daemon dat 
Cor jesu minus aestimat Daemon point frauds inter cantus, 
Saltus, Daemon! 
Caro venaratur sensibus; 
Sen sus adhaeret dapibus; 
In aescatur, impinguatur dilatatur. 
Cordis Aestum non explebunt, non arcebunt, Daemon! Daemon! 

TRANSLATION

The Demon sneaks expertly 
Tempting the honorable heart: 
He sets forth trickery amidst praise, song and dance. 
However amiably the Demon acts, 
It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus. 
The Flesh is tempted by sensuality; 
Gluttony clings to our senses; 
It overgrows, it encroaches, it stretches. 
However appealing the Flesh is, 
It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus. 
Though the Universe may confer 
Thousands upon thousands of praises, 
They neither fulfill nor put out the desire of the heart. 
However appealing the whole Universe is, 
It is still worth less than the heart of Jesus.

 

Magnificat
Music: Herbert Howells
Text: Traditional

My soul doth magnify the Lord.
And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded : the lowliness of his handmaiden: For behold, from henceforth : all generations shall call me blessed.

For he that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy is his Name.

And his mercy is on them that fear him: throughout all generations.

He hath shewed strength with his arm: he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel :
As he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.
