Da Pacem Domine, for mixed-voice choir by Mariano Garau
This text is here set to music for SATBB mixed-voice choir.
Since the Middle Ages, this has been a prayer for peace, both in the liturgy and at the most dangerous times, asking God for help.
This antiphon should not be confused with the Gregorian introit Da pacem, Domine, sustinentibus te, which comes entirely from the repertoire of the ancient Roman rite.
Text :
Da pacem, Domine,
|
Give peace, O Lord,
|
in diebus nostris,
|
to our time,
|
quia non est alius
|
because no other that,
|
qui pugnet pro nobis,
|
fighteth for us
|
nisi tu, Deus noster
|
but only Thou, our God
|
