William Byrd

Laetentur coeli, et exultet terra.
Jubilate montes laudem,
Quia Dominus noster veniet,
Et pauperum suorum miserebitur.
Orietur in diebus tuis justitia,
Et abundantia pacis.
Et pauperum suorum miserebitur.

Let the heavens be glad, and the earth exult.
Exclaim praise, O mountains,
For our Lord will come,
And will have mercy on his impoverished ones.
Justice will arise during your days,
And an abundance of peace.
And he will have mercy on his impoverished ones.

Isaiah 49:13
