Dinu Lipatti-Bach Cant.No147 Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben
Wohl mir, daß ich Jesum habe,
—from BWV 147, Chorale movement no. 6
—from BWV 147, Chorale movement no. 10
Jesu, Joy of Man’s Desiring
Maria Callas “Mon Coeur S’ouvre a ta voix”
(In the opera, Delilah is responding to Samson’s words “Dalila! Dalila! Je t’aime!” (Delilah! Delilah! I love you!) which he repeats between the first and second verses of her aria; these interjections are omitted in recital performances or sometimes sung to the changed words “Samson! Samson! Je t’aime!”; Samson’s part in the final 22 bars of the stage aria where he joins Delilah in a duet is also omitted in a recital, although some performers, notably Marilyn Horne, have sung Samson’s final words – changed as above, rising to a high B-flat. A performance takes between 5 1/2 and 6 1/2 minutes.)
Lyrics
My heart at thy dear voice
Wakes with joy, like the flow’r
At the sun’s bright returning!
But O, my dearest one,
That grief may lose its pow’r,
Say ’tis mine, thy heart’s yearning!
Oh, bide here at my side!
Promise ne’er thou’lt depart!
Once more those vows so loving
Let me hear from thy heart!
Breathe that mine still thou art!
|: Ah! respond to Love’s caresses,
Join in all my soul expresses! :|
Samson! Samson! I love you!
As winds o’er golden grain
Softly sigh roving by,
Till ’tis swaying like the ocean,
So sways my burning heart
With rapture when tou’re nigh!
And thy voice speaks thy devotion!
The dart is not so swift,
Bearing fear in its flight,
As I speed to be held
In thine arms of delight!
|: Ah! respond to Love’s caresses,
Join in all my soul expresses! :|
Samson! Samson! I love you!
My Song is Love Unknown
Samuel Crossman, 1664
My song is love unknown, my Savior’s love to me,
love to the loveless shown, that they might lovely be.
But who am I that for my sake
my Lord should take frail flesh and die?
He came from heaven’s throne, salvation to bestow;
but they refused and none the longed-for Christ would know.
This is my friend, my friend indeed,
who at my need his life did spend.
Sometimes they crowd his way and his sweet praises sing,
resounding all the day hosannas to their king.
Then “crucify” is all their breath,
and for his death they thirst and cry.
With angry shouts they have my dear Lord done away;
a murderer they save, the Prince of Life they slay!
Yet willingly he bears the shame
that through his name all might be free.
Why, what has my Lord done to cause such rage and spite?
He made the lame to run and gave the blind their sight.
What injuries! Yet these are why
the Lord most high so cruelly dies.
Here might I stay and sing of him my soul adores.
Never was love, dear King, never was grief like yours!
This is my friend in whose sweet praise
I all my days could gladly spend.

歌詞：
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
主耶穌啊，助我為祢和平之器皿，
Where there is hatred, let me sow your love;
在憎恨之處彰顯祢的愛；
where there is injury, your pardon Lord;
在傷痕之處彰顯祢寬恕；
where there is doubt, true faith in you;
在懷疑之處彰顯對祢的真正信心。
O Divine Master, grant that I may never seek
哦，主啊使我少為自己求，
so much to be consoled as to console;
少求受安慰，但求安慰人；
to be understood as to understand;
少求被瞭解，但求瞭解人；
to be loved as to love with all my soul.
少求愛，但求全心付出愛。
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
主耶穌啊，助我為祢和平之器皿，
where there is despair in life let me bring hope;
在絕望之處彰顯祢盼望；
where there is darkness only Your light;
在幽暗之處彰顯祢光明；
and where there is sadness ever joy.
在憂愁之處彰顯喜樂。
O Divine Master, grant that I may never seek
哦，主啊使我少為自己求，
so much to be consoled as to console;
少求受安慰，但求安慰人；
to be understood as to understand;
少求被瞭解，但求瞭解人；
to be loved as to love with all my soul.
少求愛，但求全心付出愛。
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace.
主耶穌啊，助我為祢和平之器皿，
For it is in giving that we receive;
在捨去時我們便有所得；
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
在赦免時我們便蒙赦免；
and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life. Amen
在老我死亡之際，我們進入永生。阿們。

Amazing Grace Lyrics
John Newton (1725-1807)
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
‘Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.
Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.
When we’ve been here ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’ve first begun.
Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.
