Josef Gabriel Rheinberger

from Vier Hymnen, op. 54

Prope est Dominus
omnibus invocantibus Eum, in veritate.
Prope es Dominus.
Laudem Domini loquetur os meum
et benedicat omnis caro,
benedicat nomen sanctum Ejus.
Veni Domine et noli tardare
Relaxa facinora plebis tuae Israel.

The Lord is attentive
to all who call in Him, in truth.
Lord, You are attentive.
May my mouth speak the praises of the Lord,
and may all flesh bless His holy name.
Come, Lord, and do not delay;
Pardon the misdeeds of Your people Israel.
