Thomas Tallis: In ieiunio et fletu

In ieiunio et fletu orabant sacerdotes:
Parce, Domine, parce populo tuo, et ne
des hereditatem tuam in perditionem.
Inter vestibulum et altare plorabant
sacerdotes, dicentes: Parce populo tuo.

In fasting and weeping the priests prayed: Spare,
O Lord, spare thy people, and give not thine
inheritance to perdition. Between the porch and
the altar the priests wept, saying: Spare thy people.

(Joel 2:12, 17; Matins Responsory, first Sunday
of Lent)
