Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina
Lauda Sion Salvatorem
Lauda ducem et pastorem
In hymnis et canticis.
Quantum potes, tantum aude,
Quia major omni laude,
Nec laudare sufficis.
Bone pastor, panis vere,
Jesu, nostri miserere:
Tu nos pasce, nos tuere:
Tu nos bona fac videre
In terra viventium. Amen.
O Zion, praise your Savior!
Praise your prince and your shepherd
With hymns and songs.
Dare to do as much as you can,
For he is greater than all praise,
And you do not do enough to praise him.
O good shepherd, true bread,
Jesus, have mercy on us.
Give us pasture, defend us.
Grant us to see good things
In the land of the living. Amen.
