William Byrd: Domine, tu iurasti

Domine, tu iurasti patribus nostris
daturum te semini eorum
terram fluentem lacte et melle;
nunc, Domine, memor este testamenti
quod posuisti patribus nostris,
et erue nos de manu Pharoanis, regis Aegipti,
ex et servitute Aegiptiorum.

O Lord, You swore to our fathers
that you would give to their seed
a land flowing with milk and honey;
now, Lord, remember this promise
which you made to our fathers
and deliver us out of the hand of Pharoah, king
of Egypt,
and out of Egyptian slavery.
