"Spem in Alium", c.1570 by Thomas Tallis [1505-1585]


Spem in alium nunquam habui 
Praeter in te, Deus Israel 
Qui irasceris et propitius eris 
et omnia peccata hominum 
in tribulatione dimittis 
Domine Deus 
Creator caeli et terrae 
respice humilitatem nostram. 


I have never put my hope in any other 
but in You, O God of Israel 
who can show both anger and graciousness, 
and who absolves all the sins 
of suffering man 
Lord God, 
Creator of Heaven and Earth 
be mindful of our lowliness.
