I rise to heaven through my faith

2. |

|
Lord what a thoughtless wretch was I
To mourn and murmur and repine
To see the wicked placed on high
In pride and robes of honor shine
But oh their end, their dreadful end
Thy sanctuary taught me so
On slipp'ry rocks I see them stand
And fiery billows roll below
Now let them boast how tall they rise
I'll never envy them again;
There they may stand with haughty eyes
'Till they plunge deep in endless pain

|
God save you, Mary, full of grace
Of graces you are the vein and the current
Almighty God has always been with you
Even to preserve you immaculate
Give us grace in life and in death
and a blessed fate in heaven
Amen
|

4. |

|
Feast of fruits, feast of fruits
Come and see us
We'll sing and dance
The hostess is waiting for us
with fifteen plates of fruit
and baklava and coffee!

Un vi vantate (Corsica)
01:54
|
|||
|
This is an elusive poem, translating something like:
You may boast, youth; but your elders are everywhere
Even if you are nimble like a deer, they will hunt you down
And like hunters, they are watching night and day

Bat'onebo (Georgian)
03:10
|
|||
|
Oh lords, help, have mercy, oh lords
Beautiful lords, bedecked with violets and roses
White sheep and a herd of goats; a lamb came jumping
The lords enjoyed this, and turning away, left us

Sidjankata (Bulgaria)
02:53
|
|||
|
The girls are sitting together at a sedjanka (a gathering for sewing and gossiping) when a boy comes in and compares them to sweet quinces.

8. |
||||
|
To the four corners, oh Father, to all the nations
Send me, Father, send me
Jesus needs someone to send, oh Father, throughout the world
Send, send, send, send me
Send me, oh Jehovah, oh Father
|
||||
9. |
||||
|
I will ascend with my faith in my hands to heaven, my home
Whether it is a burden or difficult, I will ascend to heaven with my faith
I have no worries when God is there
