Product Description
This 7-minute motet is a setting of selections from the APOTHEOSIS of the 4th-centuriy Christian poet, Prudentius. Here is the English translation:
1. Christ is of our flesh; for me His death, for me His Resurrection.
If in death I am dissolved, through the power of Christ I shall rise again.
When Christ suffers death, when amid tears He is laid in the tomb, I behold myself;
and, when restored from the tomb He again stands before me, I gaze upon God.
2. I know that in Christ my body shall arise; why bid me, then, despair?
For I shall go by that same path whereby my Lord returned,
death trodden neath His feet; this is my creed.
3. Then banish, my limbs, all terror;
and believe that with Christ our God you shall again return;
for it is He that sustains you; He will call you to join Him.
Laugh at the threats of sickness, scorn the blows of fate;
despise the horrors of the tomb, and follow where the risen Christ summons.
