(00:03) "Very Bread" by Randolph Currie (b. 1943) based on St. Thomas Aquinas in Lauda Sion
Very bread, good shepherd, tend us, Jesus, with Thy love befriend us;
Thou refresh us, Thou defend us, Thine eternal goodness send us,
In the land of life to see: Thou, who all things canst, and knowest,
Who on earth such food bestoweth, grant us with thy Saints, tho’ lowest,
where the heav’nly feast thou showest, fellow-heirs and guests to be
(01:44) Salve Regina II by Alvez Barkoskie IV (b. 1986) Solemn Tone from the Dominican Tertiaries 1952 Handbook, composed for St. Louis Church in 2014
Salve Regina, mater misericordiae:
Vita, dulcedo, et spes nostra, salve.
Ad te clamamus, exsules, filii Hevae.
Ad te suspiramus, gementes et flentes in hac lacrimarum valle.
Eia ergo, Advocata nostra, illos tuos misericordes oculos ad nos converte.
Et Iesum, benedictum fructum ventris tui, nobis, post hoc exsilium ostende.
O clemens: O pia: O dulcis Virgo Maria.
Hail, Holy Queen, mother of mercy:
our life, sweetness, and hope.
To thee do we cry, poor banished children of Eve.
To you we sigh, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears.
Turn then, our advocate, your eyes of mercy toward us.
And after this, our exile, show unto us the blessed fruit of thy womb, Jesus.
O clement, O loving, O sweet Virgin Mary.
