Rorate Caeli desuper.
Et nubes pluant iustam.
Drop down ye heavens from above for ever.
And let the skies pour down righteousness like the lamb.

Be not wroth, very sore O Lord.
Neither remember iniquity for ever.
Take us , we pray, on board.
Fear’s gripping bonds may we sever.

We are as an unclean thing.
And we all do fade as a leaf .
But thou hold us in an eternity ring.
You provide us with lasting relief.

Comfort ye my people my salvation.
Until I come to you in final reunion.

……..

Iniquity ends
In your all loving embrace
Now and for ever
