Vigilia Paschalis - Tractus
08 April, 2023
Tractus
Sicut cervus desíderat
As a hart longs
ad fontes aquárum:
for flowing streams,
ita desíderat ánima mea ad te, Deus.
so longs my soul for you, O God.
Sitívit ánima mea
My soul thirsts
ad Deum vivum:
for the living God;
quando véniam, et apparébo
when shall I come and appear
ante fáciem Dei mei ?
before the face of my God?
Fuérunt mihi lácrimæ meæ
My tears have been
panes die ac nocte,
my food day and night,
dum dícitur mihi per síngulos dies:
while men say to me daily:
Ubi est Deus tuus?
Where is your God?”
