Wisdom 3:1-3 [Latin]

1 Justorum autem animae in manu Dei sunt, et non tanget illos tormentum mortis.

Visi sunt oculis insipientium mori, et aestimata est afflictio exitus illorum,

et quod a nobis est iter exterminium; illi autem sunt in pace:


The souls of the righteous are in the hand of God,
    and no torment shall touch them.
They seemed, in the view of the foolish, to be dead;
    and their passing away was thought an affliction
    and their going forth from us, utter destruction.
But they are in peace.


Justorum animae, from Gradualia I, no. 31 (1605), composed by William Byrd (1539/40-1623)

Psalm 48:9-10,1 [Latin]

We have thought of thy lovingkindness, O God, in the midst of thy temple.

10 According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.

1 Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.

Romans 6:9-10; 4:25 [Latin]

Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him.

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once: but in that he liveth, he liveth unto God.

25 Who was delivered for our offences, and was raised again for our justification.
