O Oriens - Cecilia McDowall

 


O Oriens,

splendor lucis aeternae, et sol justitiae:

veni, et illumina sedentes in tenebris, et umbra mortis.


O Morning Star,

splendour of light eternal and sun of righteousness:

Come and enlighten those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death.

The Choir of St John's College, Cambridge

The way she set the words and the sun of justice makes me hold my breath it's so beautiful.
