Verses :

O praise the Lord, all ye nations : praise him, all ye people, alleluia
Strong is his love and mercy. God is faithful forever, alleluia !

Aclamad al Señor, tierra entera, ¡Aleluya!, ¡Aleluya!. Servid al Señor con alegría ¡Aleluya!: El Señor es bueno, ¡Aleluya!
Su misericordia es eterna, ¡Aleluya! Su fidelidad por todas las edades. ¡Aleluya!

Schaut her, ihr Gebeugten, schaut her, freut euch ;
Ihr, die ihr Gott sucht, Euer Herz lebe auf! Freut euch, freut euch, der Herr hört auf die Armen. Der Herr verachtet die Gefangenen nicht.

2 :28 Alleluia, alleluia, ( ??? )

Ich will jubeln und über deine Huld mich freuen; du hast mein Elend angesehn
Ich will jubeln und über deine Huld mich freuen ; du bist mit meiner Not vertraut

Lodate il Signore, popoli tutti, voi tutte, nazioni, dategli gloria; perché forte è il suo amore per noi, la fedeltà del Signore dura in eterno!

Gloria, gloria al Padre onnipotente, al Figlio, Gesù Cristo, Signore, allo Spirito Santo, Amore, nei secoli dei secoli. Amen

I had lost my mother to cancer on 24 February, 2016 and my father to kidney failure on 14 January, 2017. Taizé has helped me with the recovery process from the trauma. Beautiful Taizé.

@@asdfghjk8876 yes. Though you never live down the passing of your beloved parents or any loved one at that. Thanks for asking.

@abcdefg9163

So your God essentially killed or done nothing to save your family. He sounds pretty useless if he is real

@wordmadeflesh7273

@@abcdefg9163 That's why he's God, his ways and ours are different and he does everything for his glory. HALLELUJAH!!! AMEN

This is the Taize I listen to every evening at bedtime and never tiring of such heavenly praise, give God glory through the night and day. May Jesus be praised, loved, and glorified now and forever.

This is undoubtedly one of the most sublime sacred music compositions I have ever come across -- and I grew up on the Russian Orthodox a capella tradition which is in and of itself a massive source for superb sacred music and chants (when properly performed by gifted and dedicated choristers)! THANK YOU! MERCI!
