William Byrd: Tribue Domine / Te deprecor / Gloria patri qui creavit

Tribue, Domine, ut donec in hoc fragili
corpore positus sum laudet te cor meum,
laudet te lingua mea, et omnia ossa mea
dicant: Domine, quis similis tui? Tu es
Deus omnipotens, quem trinum in
personis, et unum in substantia deitatis
colimus et adoramus: Patrem ingenitum,
filium de patre unigenitum, spiritum
sanctum de utroque procedentem et in
utroque permanentem, sanctam et
individuam Trinitatem, unum Deum
omnipotentem.

Te deprecor, supplico et rogo, auge fidem,
auge spem, auge charitatem: Fac nos
ipsam gratiam tuam semper in fide
stabiles, et in opere efficaces, ut per fidem
rectam, et condigna fidei opera, ad vitam,
te miserante, perveniamus aeternam.

Gloria Patri, qui creavit nos: Gloria Filio,
qui redemit nos: Gloria spiritui sancto,
qui sanctificavit nos: Gloria summae et
individuae Trinitati, cuius opera
inseparabilia sunt, cuius imperium sine
fine manet. Te decet laus, te decet
hymnus, tibi debetur omnis honor, tibi
benedictio et claritas, tibi gratiarum actio,
tibi honor, virtus, et fortitudo, Deo nostro,
in saecula saeculorum. Amen.
 
Grant, 0 Lord, that so long as I am put in this
fragile body my heart shall praise thee, my
tongue shall praise thee, and all my bones shall
say: ‘Lord, who is like unto thee?’ Thou art God
almighty, whom we cherish and adore, three
persons and one divine essence: The Father
unbegotten, the only-begotten Son of the Father,
the Holy Ghost, proceeding from both and
abiding in both, the Holy and undivided
Trinity, one God omnipotent.


I pray, entreat and beseech thee, increase my faith,
increase my hope, increase my charity: Through
thy grace, make us always steadfast in faith, and
successful in works, that through true faith and
through works worthy of faith, we may come, by
thy mercy, to eternal life.

Glory be to the Father who created us: Glory be to
the Son who redeemed us: Glory be to the Holy
Ghost, who sanctified us: Glory be to the highest
and undivided Trinity, whose works are
inseparable, whose reign abides forever. Praise is
due thee, songs of praise are due thee, to thee be all
honour, blessing and glory, to thee be thanksgiving,
honour, power and might, our God, throughout
all ages. Amen.
