lyrics

Da da nobis nunc
Da colere solempnia festa
Da parvuli promere gesta
Da da nobis nunc

Da da nobis nunc
Da matri laudis honorem
Da parvulo cordis amorem

Da sic componere gestum
Nil mestum nil inhonestum
Da da nobis nunc

Da da nobis nunc
Da nunc corrigere mores
Virtutum carpere flores
Da da nobis nunc

Da da nobis nunc
Da vivere vile iocunde
Concedere satis ab unde
Da da nobis nunc

Da da nobis nunc
Da clero voluere libros
Da populo tangere ciphos
Da da nobis nunc

Da da nobis nunc
Da prompte fundere potum
Da sobrie bibere totum
Da da nobis nunc

Da da nobis nunc
Da parvulo psallere laudes
Da procul pellere fraudes
Da da nobis nunc

Da da nobis nunc
Da maestis vim meritorum
Da letis regna polorum
Da da nobis nunc


Grant That We May Now

Grant that we may now
Observe this sacred feast
And be deserving of the deeds of the Infant
Grant that we may now

Grant that we may now
That we may praise and honour the Mother
And give our hearts’ love to the Infant
Grant that we may now

Grant that we may now
That we may conduct our affairs
Neither carelessly nor dishonourably
Grant that we may now

Grant that we may now
That we may find abundance
In a life of simplicity and joy
Grant that we may now

Grant that we may now
That the clergy prefer the books
While the people clink goblets
Grant that we may now

Grant that we may now
That we may eagerly pour the libation
And soberly drink it all
Grant that we may now

Grant that we may now
That we may sing the praises of the Infant
And banish deceit far away
Grant that we may now

Grant that we may now
That the forlorn have due strength
And the happy have the kingdom of Heaven
Grant that we may now
