Communion (Graduale Romanum Chant): (Ps 26:4)
Unam petii a Domino, hanc requiram; ut inhabitem in domo
Domini omnibus diebus vitae meae (One thing have I asked
of the Lord, this will I seek after; that I may dwell in
the house of the Lord all the days of my life).


Orlando Gibbons (1583–1625) was born in Oxford England,
played virginal (precursor to harpsichord) and organ, and
was a leading composer of his day. His score for five voices
(S,A,A,T,B) is joined to the Phineas Fletcher (1582-1650) text:
Drop, drop, slow tears / And bathe those beauteous feet /
Which brought from heav'n / The news and Prince of Peace: /
Cease not, wet eyes, / His mercies to entreat; /
To cry for vengeance / Sin doth never cease: /
In your deep floods / Drown all my faults and fears; /
Nor let his eye see sin, / but through my tears.
