Longe mala umbrae terrores
Language: Latin
Longe mala umbrae terrores,
Sors amara iniqua sors.
Bella plagae irae furors
Tela et arma aeterna mors.
Recitativo
Recedite, nubes et fulgura,
Et sereno coronate fulgore
Coeli sidera coruscate;
omnes animae super terram et
super astra viventes jubilate.
Aria da capo - Largo
Descende, o coeli vox,
ex alto asperge nos,
tolle maerorem.
Resplende, o vera lux,
es tu secura dux,
sparge fulgorem.

Away with woes, shadows, terrors
Language: English after the Latin
Away with woes, shadows, terrors,
bitter fate, unfair fate.
Wars, plagues, anger, rages,
Weapons and armor, eternal death.
Recitativo
Clouds and lightning be gone,
and crowned with serene brightness
of heaven, let the stars twinkle;
let every soul from earth
to the stars live and rejoice.
Aria da capo - Largo
Come, voice of heaven,
wash us from above,
Take away misery.
Shine out, o true light,
you are a fearless leader,
Spread your light.
