Notes:
Translation by Stefano Toria, William F. Hoffman, John K. Wardle, and Daniel
Quinlan
[1] The object of Roman
religion was to secure the cooperation, benevolence, and "peace" of the
gods, hence "pax deorum".
[2] This Latin may
be divided to obtain "domine o venite o sacramentum (disces m)eo deo",
which is difficult to translate and is questionable grammar. It may be
intended to mean both "lord o come o sacrament by/from that god" and "lord
o come o sacrament (you) learn of/from my god". The lyric doesn't seem
to be duplicable in English.
[3] The word "sacramentum"
is a Latin word used to describe an oath. Later, it came to refer to a
formal Christian rite, especially one considered to have been instituted
by Jesus as a means of grace (often communion).
[4] This Irish Gaelic
is the same as the first two lines of "Athair ar Neamh".
[5] This Latin is an
exact quote from Horace's Epistles, Book I, Epistle IV, line 13. The whole
sentence of which this is part (lines 12-14) reads:
Inter spem curamque,
timores inter et iras
omnen crede diem tibi
diluxisse supremem:
grata superveniet
quae non sperabitur hora.
This means:
Amid the hope and worry,
the fear and anger
believe that each
day which breaks is your last:
the unhoped for hour
will be a welcome surprise.

Father In Heaven
Father in Heaven, God bless us
Father in Heaven, God bless me
My soul, my heart, my glory
Praise be to you, oh God.
Long is the peaceful day
Long is the night without gloom
Wonder, joy, love
Praise be to you, oh God.
I praise you from day to day.
I praise you night after night.
Father in Heaven, God bless us
Father in Heaven, God bless me
The moon, the sun, the wind
Praise be to you, oh God.
I praise you from day to day.
I praise you night after night.

The moon, the sun, the wind
Praise be to you, oh God. |
