Roráte Caeli | 2015 | TTB or SSA a cappella | 4'

This Advent text of the Prophet Isaiah echoes the longing and expectation of the patriarchs and prophets who awaited Christ's birth.  The Latin Rite Church assigns it as the Introit text for the Fourth Sunday of Advent as well as Saturdays of the Blessed Virgin Mary during Advent.  Consequently, the Christian faithful prepare Christ's two-fold coming:  as an infant at Christmas and as a king at the end of time.

    Roráte Caeli désuper,

    et nubes pluant justum:

    speriátur terra,

    et gérminet Salvatórem.

     

    Caeli enárrant

    glóriam Dei:

    et ópera mánuum ejus

    annúntiat firmaméntum.

     

    Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.

    Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper,

    et in saecula saeculórum. Amen.

     

    Introit: Advent IV Sunday

    Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above,

    and let the clouds rain the Just:

    let the earth be opened

    and bud forth a Savior.

     

    The heavens show forth

    the glory of God:

    and the work of His hands

    the firmament declareth

     

    Glory be to the Father, and the Son,

    and to the Holy Spirit,

    As it was in the beginning,

    is now, and ever shall be

    world without end.

    Amen.
