Elgar: The Dream of Gerontius, Op. 38, Pt. 1: "Sanctus fortis, Sanctus Deus" (Gerontius)

Sanctus fortis, sanctus Deus, de profundis Oro te. Miserere, Judex meus, Parcere in Domine. Firmly I believe and Truly God is three and God is one. And I next acknowledge Duly man who taken By the Son. And I trust and hope most Fully in that man Who Crucified. And each thought and deed Unruly go to Death as he Has died. Simply to his grace and Wholly light and life and Strength Belong. And I love supremely, Solely him, the holy, Him the Strong. Sanctus fortis, sanctus Deus, de profundis Oro te. Miserere, judex Meus, parcere In Domine. And I hold in Veneration for the Love of him alone. Holy Church as his Creation and her Teachings as His own. And I take with joy whatever Now besets me, made of Fear. And with a strong will I sever All the ties which bind me Here. Adoration And even with a true Angelic voice. To the God Of earth and Heaven, Father, Son, And Holy Ghost. Sanctus Fortis, sanctus Deus, De profundis Oro te. Miserere, judex Meus, mortis Mortis in his Crimine.
