Yes, the music comes from the christian tradition. Yes, protestants don't tend to believe that the sacraments are actually transformed but more of a reminder of Christ's sacrifice. Sure, that is what the boys are singing about, but if you didn't know a snitch of latin, would you still find the song beautiful?

why can't we just enjoy the music?

Who gives a dam what religion this belongs to cant you all just accept beautiful spiritual music for what it is and keep religious views to yourselves shame on you all. disgusting to think you need to box this beauty into a religious realm share is that not good Christian ethic or do you prefer to fight I think its a great Muslim piece.

@CorAdCorLoquitor It's translated to fit the music not as a direct translation unfortunately

The translation is at nearest an approximation, necessitated by metrics and rhyming across a language boundary. Simultaneously, the English phraseology is perhaps more Protestantized. In view of the prevailing religious view in English-speaking cultures, perhaps it is a fitting translation to gain acceptance. But even the Latin meaning is fine with many if not most non-Catholics. The lyrics were written long before the Reformation. This work is a masterpiece in any language within Christendom.

Absolutely beautiful and truly moving,,,,Christian hymns at their best !!

[CorAdCorLoquitor]

Unfortunately the translation from the Latin is woefully inaccurate.

The last time I heard this song was when I sang in a boys choir in the last high requiem mass in latin I was ever in, in 1963. The song was accompanied by a great harp, cello, and organ (the real one). It was a funeral mass for the mother of a classmate who died within months from cancer.

A few short years later the Roman Catholic Church discarded 1500 years of European Christian tradition and such masses were no more.

Bubbasuncle 1- They are repeating the first verse. The second verse is: Te trina Deitas Unaque poscimus, Sic nos tu visita Sicut te colimus: Per tuas semitas Duc nos quo tendimus, Ad lucem quam inhabitas. Amen O blessed Three in One! Visit our hearts, we pray. And lead us onthrough Thine own paths To Thine eternal day. Amen That's what the second verse is SUPPOSED to be. Yet, I've never seen ANYONE sing it, except actually in church.
