William Byrd (±1539-1623): Levemus corda

Levemus corda nostra cum manibus ad Dominum in caelos.
Nos enim inique egimus, et ad iracundiam provocavimus.
Sed tu, Domine, miserere nostri.

Lamentations 3: 41-2

Let us lift our hearts and hands to the Lord in the heavens.
For we have acted badly, and we have provoked anger.
But you, Lord, are merciful towards us.
