Download a MIDI of this song

The thoughts of His Heart
are to all generations:
to deliver their souls from death
and feed them in famine.

(In Paschal time: Alleluia, Alleluia)

Rejoice in the Lord, ye just:
praise becometh the upright.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
world without end. Amen.

The thoughts of His Heart
are to all generations:
to deliver their souls from death
and feed them in famine.

This Mass is often sung on First Friday (in those places where a Missa Cantata is possible). It has an extremely beautiful melody.
