Paroles et traduction William Byrd - Tribue, Domine

Tribue, Domine

Tribue Domine, ut donec in hoc fragili corpore positus sum,
Laudet te cor meum, laudet te lingua mea, et omnia ossa mea dicant:
Domine, quis similis tui? Tu es Deus omnipotens,
Quem trinum in personis,
Et unum in substantia deitatis colimus et adoramus,
Patrem ingenitum, Filium de Patre unigenitum,
Spiritum sanctum de utroque procedentem, et in utroque permanentem,
Sanctam et individuam trinitatem, unum Deum omnipotentem.

Te deprecor, supplico et rogo, auge fidem, auge spem, auge charitatem.
Fac nos per ipsam gratiam tuam semper
In fide stabiles, et in opere efficaces,
Ut per fidem rectam et condigna fidei opera
Ad vitam te miserante, perveniamus æternam.

Gloria Patri qui creavit nos.
Gloria Filio qui redemit nos.
Gloria Spiritui sancto qui sanctificavit nos.
Gloria summæ et individuæ trinitati cujus opera
Inseparabilia sunt, cujus imperium sine fine manet.
Te decet laus, te decet hymnus,
Tibi debetur omnis honor, tibi benedictio et claritas,
Tibi gratiarum actio, tibi honor,
Virtus et fortitudo, Deo nostro, in sæcula sæculorum. Amen.

Tribue, Domine

Grant to me, O Lord, so that while I am placed in this frail body,
May my heart praise you, my tongue praise you, and all my bones say:
Lord, who is like you? You are God almighty,
Whom we worship and adore as three in persons,
And one in substance of deity,
The Father unbegotten, the Son only-begotten of the Father,
The Holy Spirit proceeding from both, and remaining in both,
The holy and undivided Trinity, one almighty God.

I beseech, implore, and pray you, increase faith, increase hope, increase charity.
Through your grace, make us always
Stable in faith and effective in work,
So that through right faith and works worthy of faith
We may attain eternal life through your mercy.

Glory to the Father who created us.
Glory to the Son who redeemed us.
Glory to the Holy Spirit who sanctified us.
Glory to the highest and undivided Trinity whose works
Are inseparable, whose dominion abides without end.
Praise befits you, a hymn befits you,
All honor, blessing, and glory are due to you,
Thanksgiving, honor,
Virtue and fortitude, to our God, forever and ever. Amen.
