I have slipped the surly bonds of Earth And danced the skies on laughter-silvered wings; Sunward I’ve climbed, and joined the tumbling mirth Of sun-split clouds, — and done a hundred things You have not dreamed of — wheeled and soared and swung High in the sunlit silence. Hov’ring there, I’ve chased the shouting wind along, and flung My eager craft through footless halls of air . . . Up, up the long, delirious burning blue I’ve topped the wind-swept heights with easy grace Where never lark, or ever eagle flew — And, while with silent, lifting mind I’ve trod The high untrespassed sanctity of space, Put out my hand, and touched the face of God. www.latvianvoices.lv  less

Scott Ferguson, Conductor. March 2012. ---English Poetic Translation: In the midst of troubles and of great calamities, When facing the mountains of life and all of life's burdens, We ask, we seek, we come to understand That You, oh Lord, that You are the true source of Life. In spite of our fears and despite our misfortunes, In this great whirl of pain and of suffering, We discover at last that You, oh Lord, You are the Truth and You are the Light, The Source of all life. Te Deum laudamus. (We praise You, oh Lord) Praise and glory to you, oh Lord, Forever and ever. Blessings for You, oh Lord; Truly, You deserve it. We praise You, oh God. For the immense universe created by Your hand, For the evening breeze and the morning dew, For the infinite love that You placed in our hearts, We praise You, oh Lord. Te Deum laudamus. You created in love all that exists: All that we cannot see, All that we do not see,...    less
