Program Ubi caritas Ola Gjeilo (b. 1978) Where charity and love are, God is there. Christ’s love has gathered us into one. Let us rejoice and be glad in Him. Let us fear and love the living God. And let us love one another with a sincere heart. Amen.
Litanies a la vierge noire Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) Lord, have mercy on us, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Jesus Christ, hear us, Jesus Christ, grant our prayer.
God the Father, Creator, have mercy on us. God the Son, Redeemer, have mercy on us. God the Holy Spirit, Sanctifier, have mercy on us. Holy Trinity, who are one God, have mercy on us.
Holy Virgin Mary, pray for us, Virgin, queen and patron, pray for us. Virgin, whom Zacchaeus the tax collector has made us know and love, Virgin, for whom Zacchaeus or St. Amadour raised this shrine, pray for us.
Queen of the shrine which Saint Martial consecrated, and where he celebrated his holy mysteries, Queen, near whom Saint Louis kneeled to ask of you the blessing of France, pray for us. Queen, to whom Roland consecrated his sword, pray for us. Queen whose banner wins the battles, pray for us. Queen whose hand delivered the captives, pray for us.
Our Lady, whose pilgrimages are enriched with special favors, Our Lady, whom impiety and hatred have often sought to destroy, Our Lady, whom the masses visit as in olden times, pray for us.
Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, forgive us. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant our prayer. Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, have mercy on us.
Our Lady, pray for us so that we may be worthy of Jesus Christ.
Ich wollt’ meine Lieb’ Felix Mendelssohn (1809-1847)
I wish that I could pour my love Into a single word, I’d give it to the merry winds, Who’d bear it merrily away.
They’d bear it to you, beloved, This word so full of love, You’d hear it at every moment, You’d hear it in every place.
And when for your nightly slumber You’ve scarcely closed your eyes, My image will then pursue you Into your deepest dream.
Swing Low, Sweet Chariot arr. William L. Dawson (1899-1990)

**************************************************
Kyrie from Messa a Tres Voci unknown, attributed to Giacomo Carissimi (1605 - 1674) Realization by Garth Molyneux Lord have mercy, Christ have mercy, Lord have mercy.
Veni Creator César Franck (1822 - 1890) Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest, and in our hearts take up Thy rest; come with Thy grace and heavenly aid, to fill the hearts which Thou hast made.
O Comforter, to Thee we cry, Thou heavenly gift of God most high, Thou Fount of life, and Fire of love, and sweet anointing from above.
Thy light to every sense impart, and shed thy love in every heart; thine own unfailing might supply to strengthen our infirmity.
Drive far away our ghostly foe, and thine abiding peace bestow; if thou be our preventing Guide, no evil can our steps betide.
Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest.
