OFFERIMUS tibi, Domine, calicem salutaris tuam deprecantes clementiam: ut in conspectu divinae majestatis tuae, pro nostra et totius mundi salute cum odore suavitatis ascendat.
WE OFFER You, O Lord, the chalice of salvation, humbly begging of Your mercy that it may arise before Your divine Majesty, with a pleasing fragrance, for our salvation and for that of the whole world.
AMEN

Album - Hymns
Last night I dreamed I took a walk up Calvary's lonely hill
The things I saw with my own eyes could not have been more real
I saw upon three crosses three men in agony
Two cried out for mercy and the third man looked at me
And oh the hurt in this man's eyes, Just broke my heart in two
It seemed that I could hear him say, I'm doing this for you
I knelt beneath the third man's cross and slowly bowed my head
I reached out and I touch his feet and it stained my hands with red
And when I heard him cryin' I raised my eyes to see
The blood spilled from the third man's side some of it spilled on me
The third man wore a crown of thorns spikes held him to the tree
And I heard him say "oh God my God why hast Thou forsaken me"
And there among a mighty crowd, the ones who mocked him cried
If thou art King then save thyself and then the third man died
Suddenly I heard the thunder roll and saw lightning pierce the sky
The third man was still hanging there and I began to cry
I saw the boulders fall and heard the breaking of the ground
Then, I awoke and though I dreamed, I touched my cheek and found
My eyes were wet where I had cried, a dream? I wish I knew
I still can hear the third man say, "I'm doing this for you"
