Edition notes: Second part only of "Magnus es tu Domine - Tu pauperum refugium". Same as in 28499 and 12502, but transposed up one fourth and with modern layout. The "a 2" in the title is misleading, as it is for 4 voices, rather than 2.

Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Tu pauperum refugium, tu languorum remedium,
spes exsulum, fortitudo laborantium,
via errantium, veritas et vita.
Et nunc Redemptor, Domine, ad te solum confugio;
te verum Deum adoro, in te spero,
in te confido, salus mea, Jesu Christe.
Adjuva me, ne unquam obdormiat in morte anima mea.

English.png English translation

Thou art the refuge of the poor,
remedy for afflictions, hope of exiles,
strength of those who labor,
way for the wandering, truth and life.
And now, Redeemer, Lord, in thee alone I take refuge;
thee, true God, I adore, in thee I hope,
in thee I confide, my salvation, O Jesus Christ.
Help me, lest my soul ever sleep in death.

Translation by St Ann choir
