Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina: Rorate Caeli

Rorate coeli desuper, et nubes pluant justum; aperiatur terra, et germinet salvatorem. Ostende nobis Domine, misericordiam tuam, et salutare tuum da nobis. Veni Domine, et noli tardare.
Alleluia.


Pour out dew from above, you heavens, and let the clouds rain down the Just One. Show us your mercy Lord, and grant us your salvation. Come, Lord, and do not delay. Alleluia. (Isaiah 45:8)
