Music Notes:


The Introit Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
Esto mihi in Deum tectorem, et in locum refugii, ut salvum
me facias; quoniam firmamentum meum, et refugium meum es tu;
et propter nomen tuum dux mihi eris, et enutries me. In te
Domine speravi, non confundar in aeternum; in iustitia tua
libera me (Be unto me a protecting God and a house of refuge,
to save me; for you are my support and my refuge; and for the
sake of your name you will lead me and nourish me. In you O Lord
do I trust; let me never be put to shame; deliver me in your
righteousness).


The Offertory Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
Benedictus es, Domine, doce me justifications tuas; in labiis
meis prountiavi omnia iudiciaoris tui (Blessed are you Lord,
teach me your commandments. With my lips have I declared all
the judgments spoken by your mouth).


The Communion Antiphon (Graduale Romanum Chant Proper):
Manducaverunt, et saturati sunt nimis, et desiderium eorum
attuliteis Dominus: non sunt fraudati a desiderio suo (They
ate and were fully satisfied; the Lord gave them all that they
desired; they were not deprived of their wants).
