Lyrics

ALARUM

Sicut erat in principio
Et nunc et semper
Et in sæcula sæculorum

Domine
Sub umbra alarum
Tuarum protege nos
Illumina oculos meos
Et exaudi vocem meam

Filli hominum
Usquequo gravi corde
Cur diligitis vanitatem
Et quæritis mendacium?


English translation

As it was at the beginning
Be it now and for ever
For all centuries and centuries
Lord
Protect us under the shadow of your wings
Illuminate my eyes and listen to my voice
Oh men, how long will you have
Heavy hearts
Will you love vanity
And look for illusion
