Byrd: Justorum Animae
Justorum animae in manu Dei sunt
Et non tanget illos tormentum mortis
Visi sunt oculis incipientium mori
Illi autem sunt in pace
The souls of the just are in the hand of God
And the torment of death does not touch them.
In the eyes of fools, they are seen as dead;
They are, however, at peace.

him.)
Timeamus et amemus Deum vivum, (Let us fear and love the living God,)
Et ex corde diligimus nos sincero. (And from a sincere heart, let
us serve him.)

Ita desiderat anima mea ad te, Deus.
