Lauda Jerusalem (2016)

Refrain: Lauda Jerúsalem Dóminum, Lauda Deum tuum Sion. Hosánna, Hosánna, Hosánna Fílio David. Verse: 1. He has strengthened the bars of your gates, he has blessed the children within you. He established peace on your borders, he feeds you with finest wheat. He sends out his word to the earth and swiftly runs his command. 2. He showers down snow white as wool, he scatters hoarfrost like ashes. He hurls down hailstones like crumbs. The waters are frozen at his touch; he sends forth his word and it melts them; at the breath of his mouth the waters flow. 3. He makes his word known to Jacob, to Israel his laws and decrees. He has not dealt thus with other nations; he has not taught them his decrees. 4. Give praise to the Father Almighty, to his Son, Jesus Christ, the Lord, to the Spirit who dwells in our hearts, both now and for ever. Amen. Saturday, June 25, 2016.
