  1. You Were There

    You were there – in every thing I knew,
    From the moment I began
    Always there – in every way I grew
    Saved me falling – held my hand

    You were shelter from the storm
    The shadows fade away
    All cares pass away
    As hour by hour and day by day
    Your love lightens up the sky
    As it shines across the night,

    Ave Regina, coelorum decora,
    Virgo gloriosa Ave

    And when the end of day is come
    Stay with me through the dark and bring me home

    You are there – whichever way I go,
    Keep me safely – night and day
    Always there – whenever I’m alone,
    Hear me calling – show the way

    You were shelter from the storm
    The shadows fade away
    All cares pass away
    As hour by hour and day by day
    Your love lightens up the sky
    As it shines across the night,

    Ave Regina, coelorum decora,
    Virgo gloriosa Ave

    And when the end of day is come
    Stay with me through the dark and bring me home

  2. Sanctus

    Sanctus, Sanctus

    Benedictus qui venit in Domine

    Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabbaoth,
    Pleni sunt coeli et terra Gloria

    Benedictus in nomine
    Qui venit in nomine

  3. Mother of God (Tavener)

    Mother of God here I stand now praying
    Before this ikon of your radiant brightness
    Not praying to be saved from a battlefield
    not giving thanks, nor seeking forgiveness
    For the sins of my soul, nor for all the souls
    numb joyless and desolate on earth
    but for her alone, whom I wholly give you

  4. Salva me

    Domine deus miserere mei

    Carry me away
    From the dark I fear
    When the storm is near
    From the endless night
    From my blinded sight
    To a sky of light

    Free me to fly away
    Salva me

    Carry me away
    From the things that harm
    On a sea of calm
    From the endless night
    From my blinded sight
    To a sky of light

  5. Love and mercy

    I was sitting in a crummy movie with my hands on my chin
    all the violence that occurs seems like we never win
    Oh, love and mercy are what you need tonight
    Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

    I was lying in my room and the news came on TV
    there’s a lot of people out there hurting and it really scares me
    Oh, love and mercy are what you need tonight
    Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

    I was standing in a bar and watching all the people there
    all the loneliness in this world – it’s just not fair
    Oh, love and mercy are what you need tonight
    Love and mercy to you and your friends tonight

  6. Sancte

    Veni Sancte Spiritus, lumen cordia
    Veni dator munerum, Pater pauperum
    Lux creator optime, Sancte Spiritus

    In aeterna lux credentium
    sempiterna lumen cordium
    In aeterna sancte Spiritus

    Creator, mysterium, O lux creator optime
    Beata, fidelium, sit sempiterna gloria

  7. Secret

    I wish the dawn may know nothing of the name that I told the night
    I wish like mist in the morning it drifts away silently to hide away

    So carry away to never see light of day
    keep hidden away for eternity – a secret song

    I dream the day could proclaim the love of the name that I told the night
    I dream that glorious daylight uncovers the mystery I hide away

    I pray to hide from the sunset the secret I told the day
    I pray to carry away the love and drift away silently and hide away

  8. Do not stand at my grave and weep

    Do not stand at my grave and weep.
    I am not there, I do not sleep.
    I am a thousand winds that blow,
    I am the diamond glints in snow,
    I am the sunlight and ripened grain.
    I am the gentle Autumn rain.

    When you awake in the morning hush,
    I am the swift uplifting rush
    Of quiet birds in circling flight.
    I am the soft stars that shine at night.
    Do not stand at my grave and weep.
    I am not there, I do not sleep.

  9. Always with you

    Do you know me, who I am?
    I am always with you
    I am near you every day,
    Always share what you do

    Follow the path to anywhere,
    A stranger in the world without you
    Forever I will be there,
    The shadow you always knew

    Beati quorum via, integra est

    If you think I’ve gone away,
    And am never with you
    I am not so far away,
    Always shadowing you

  10. Libera

    Libera

    De profundis clamavi ad te Domine
    Domine exaudi vocem meam de profundis

    Libera me Domine de morte
    Are you the friend I cannot see?
    Are you the one who cares for me?
    It’s only you can set me free
    Aeterna

    Libera

    Are you my hope of liberty?
    Are you the door, are you the key?
    It’s only you can set me free
    Aeterna

  11. Ave Maria

    Ave Maria, gracia plena
    Sancta Maria gracia

    Ave Maria, mater Dei
    Maria, ora pro nobis

    Ora

  12. Gaudete

    Gaudete Christus est natus
    Ex Maria virgine, gaudete

    Tempus ad est gratiae hoc quod optabamus,
    Carmina latitiae, devote redamus

    Ergo nostra contio psallat iam in lustro,
    Benedicat domino, sallus regi nostro

    Gaudete, gaudete christus est natus,
    Ex Maria virginae, gaudete

  13. Air on G string

    Ah – (Vocalese)

  14. I am the day

    I am the day, soon to be born
    I am the light before the morning

    I am the night, that will be dawn
    I am the end and the beginning

    I am the alpha and omega
    The night and day, the first and last

    Illuminosa, immortalis
    Sancta gloriosa
    Illuminosa, immortalis
    Sancta gloriosa
    In aeterna

    I am the life, soon to begin
    I am the new hope in the morning

    I am the darkness, soon to be light
    I am the rising and the falling

  15. We are the lost

    We are the lost who lived and loved
    We felt the dawn saw sunset glow
    for now we lie in row on row
    in Flanders fields

    O lux beata lumina

    The larks fly high where guns destroyed
    Now poppies grow and crosses show
    where now we lie in Flanders fields
    in row on row

    Time like an ever rolling stream
    bears all its sons away
    They fly forgotten as a dream
    dies at the break of day

    We shall not sleep who lived and loved
    who felt the dawn saw sunset glow
    If you break faith with us who lie
    in Flanders fields

    From failing hands we throw the torch
    Our light be yours to hold it high
    For now we lie in Flanders fields
    in row on row

  16. Sempiterna (remix)

    Conditor alme siderum
    Aeterna lux credentium
    Christe redemptor omnium
    Exaudi preces supplicum

    Qui condolens interitu
    Mortis perire saeculum
    Salvasti mundum languidum
    Donans reis remedium

    Laus honor virtus Gloria
    Deo Patri cum Filio
    Sancto simul paraclito
    In sempiterna saecula

    Creator conditor perpetua
    Exulta clamava in saecula

  17. Orinoco Flow

    Let me sail, let me sail, let the Orinoco flow
    Let me reach, let me beach on the shores of Tripoli
    Let me sail, let me sail, let me crash upon your shore
    Let me reach, let me beach far beyond the yellow sea

    Sail away

    From Bissau to Palau in the shade of Avalon
    From Fiji to Tiree and the Isles of Ebony
    From Peru to Cebu, feel the power of Babylon
    From Bali to Cali far beneath the Coral Sea

    Turn it up, turn it up, turn it up, up – Adieu

    From the North to the South, Ebudae unto Khartoum
    From the deep Sea of Clouds to the Island of the Moon
    Carry me on the waves to the lands I’ve never been
    Carry me on the waves to the lands I’ve never seen

  18. Far Away

    Whereever I go
    Far away and anywhere

    Time after time you always shine
    through dark of night calling after me

    And whereever I climb
    Far away and anywhere

    You raise me high beyond the sky
    through stormy night lifting me above

    Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
    Venite Spiritu et emitte caelitus
    Venite Spiritu Venite Spiri tus

    Whenever I cry
    Far away and anywhere

    You hear me call when shadows fall
    your light of hope showing me the way

  19. Gloria

    Gloria in excelsis Deo
    Et in terra pax hominibus
    Benedicimus te laudamus
    Adoramus te Gloria

    Gracias agimus Propter magnam
    gloriam tuam
    Quoniam tu solus sanctus
    Dominus tu solus altissimus

    Gloria in excelsis Deo
    Et in terra pax hominibus
    Benenedicimus te laudamus
    Adoramus te Gloria

    Qui tolis peccata mundi

    Agnus Dei
    Rex coelestis Deus Pater

    Gloria in excelsis
    Deo Et in terra pax hominibus Benedicimus te laudamus
    Adoramus te Gloria

  20. Voca Me

    As secret as a dream you call
    As silent as the night for all you cry
    Lacrymosa

    Lacrymosa dies illa
    Dolorosa Domine
    Voca
    Voca Me

    You whisper in my silent sleep
    You answer to my call when lost I cry
    Lacrymosa

  21. Sing for ever

    I will sing for you at the start of each day,
    I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
    In all things I do in the dawn of’ my life,
    I’ll sing for ever, sing for you

    Shutting out night my life renewed,
    Happy for love that is to come
    Opening eyes I’ll follow you
    Glad to see, glad to be yours

    Echoing what you say,
    Shining out what you are,
    Out of dark, into your light

    I will sing for you in the light of each day
    I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
    In all things I do at the noon of my life,
    I’ll sing for ever, sing for you

    I will sing for you at the end of each day,
    I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
    In all things I do in the eve of my life,
    I’ll sing for ever, sing for you

    I will sing for you each and every day,
    I’ll sing for ever, sing for you
    In all things I do to the end of my life
    I’ll sing for ever, sing for you

  22. Rest in peace

    For all who need comfort for all those who mourn
    all those whom we cherished will be reborn
    All those whom we love but see no more
    they are not perished, but gone before
    and lie in the tender arms of he who died for us all to set us free
    from hatred and anger and cruel tyranny
    may they rest in peace – and rise in glory

    All suffering and sorrow will be no more
    they’ll vanish like shadows at heaven’s door
    All anguish and grieving will one day be healed
    when all of God’s purpose will be revealed.
    Though now for a season lost from sight
    the innocent slain in the blindness of ‘right’
    are now in the warmth of God’s glorious light
    where they rest in peace – and rise in glory

    Lord give me wisdom to comprehend why I survive and not my friend
    and teach me compassion so I may live, all my enemies to forgive

    For all who need comfort for all those who mourn
    all those whom we cherished will be reborn
    All those whom we love but see no more
    they are not perished but gone before
    And Lord keep them safe in your embrace
    and fill their souls with your good grace
    for now they see you face to face
    where they rest in peace – and rise in glory

  23. Adoramus

    Adoramus te rex Gloria
    Cum gaudia infinita

    Can you lift me away from the dark of this day
    Give me courage and help me be free evermore

    Can you guide me once more, give me strength to be sure
    Send me wisdom and help me be free evermore

  24. May the road rise up

    May the road rise up to meet you
    may the wind be always at your back
    May the rains fall soft upon you
    and the sun shine warm upon your face

    And true be the hearts that love you
    peace ever with you and until we meet again –
    May the path light up before you
    and the clouds forsake the skies above
    May the warmth of sun surround you
    and the stars shine bright to guide you home
    And true be the hearts that love you
    peace ever with you and until we meet again –
    May God hold you in the palm of his hand
    May he hold you evermore

  25. Ave Maria

    Ave Maria, gracia plena
    Sancta Maria gracia

    Ave Maria, mater Dei
    Maria, ora pro nobis

    Ora

  26. Prayer

    When at night I go to sleep,
    Fourteen angels watch do keep
    Two my head are guarding,
    Two my feet are guiding
    Two are on my right hand,
    Two are on my left hand
    Two who warmly hold me,
    Two with love enfold me
    Two who show me when I rise
    The way to heaven’s paradise

  27. How can I keep from singing

    My life flows on in endless song
    Above earth’s lamentation.
    I hear the real though far-off hymn
    That hails a new creation.
    No storm can shake my inmost calm
    While to that rock I’m clinging
    Since love is lord of heaven and earth
    How can I keep from singing?

    I lift my eyes, the cloud grows thin;
    I see the blue above it;
    And day by day this pathway smoothes,
    Since first I learned to love it.
    The peace and love makes fresh my heart,
    A fountain ever springing;
    All things are mine since I am his,
    How can I keep from singing?

  28. Be still my soul

    Be still my soul – the Lord is on thy side;
    bear patiently the cross of grief or pain;
    leave to thy God to order and provide;
    in every change – he faithful will remain.
    Be still, my soul – thy best thy heavenly Friend
    through thorny ways leads to a joyful end.

    Be still my soul – when dearest friends depart,
    and all is darkened in the vale of tears,
    then shalt thou better know his love – his heart,
    who comes to soothe thy sorrow and thy fears.
    Be still, my soul – the waves and winds still know
    his voice who ruled them – while he dwelt below.

    Be still my soul the hour is hastening on
    when we shall be forever with the Lord,
    when disappointment – grief and fear are gone,
    sorrow forgot – love’s purest joys restored,.
    Be still my soul – when change and tears are past,
    all safe and blessed – we shall meet at last.

  29. Stay with me

    You are everything I know
    Which ever way I go
    For ever stay with me

    Venite angeli
    Cantate domino
    Laudate

    You see me through when ever I’m afraid
    However far away
    For ever comfort me

    You’re on my side whichever way I choose
    In everything I do
    For ever stay with me

  30. Recordare

    Miserere, recordare
    Miserere nobis

    Confutatis, maledictis

    Recordare, miserere
    Dona eis aetarnam requiem
    Recordare, miserere
    Deprecationem nostram

    Salva, salva me

  31. Going Home

    Going home going home
    I am going home
    Quiet like, some still day
    I am going home

    It’s not far, just close by,
    through an open door
    Work all done, care laid by
    never fear no more

    Mother’s there expecting me
    Father’s waiting too
    Lots of faces gathered there
    All the friends I knew

    I’m just going home

    No more fear No more pain
    No more stumbling by the way
    No more longing for the day
    Going to run no more

    Morning star lights the way
    Restless dreams all gone
    Shadows gone, break of day
    real life has begun

    There’s no break, there’s no end
    Just living on
    Wide awake, with a smile
    going on and on

    Going home Going home
    I am going home
    shadows gone break of day
    real life has begun

    I’m just going home

  32. Heaven

    Illumina, perpetua

    And I saw a new heaven
    For the first earth, and the first earth
    Are passed away
