In the Middle Ages it was sung every day except Sunday, which would explain its presence in the Book of Hours intended for use by the faithful. The last response is that of the Absolution. [...] (From the CD booklet notes) [Antiphona: Johannes 11: 25-26] Ego sum resurrectio et vita. Qui credit in me etiam si mortuus fuerit, vivet. Et omnis qui vivit et credit in me, non morietur in aeternum. [Canticum graduum: Psalmus 130 - De profundis] De profundis clamavi ad te, Domine; Domine, exaudi vocem meam. Fiant aures tuæ intendentes in vocem deprecationis meæ. Si iniquitates observaveris, Domine, Domine, quis sustinebit? Quia apud te propitiatio est; et propter legem tuam sustinui te, Domine. Sustinuit anima mea in verbo ejus: Speravit anima mea in Domino. A custodia matutina usque ad noctem, speret Israël in Domino. Quia apud Dominum misericordia, et copiosa apud eum redemptio. Et ipse redimet Israël ex omnibus iniquitatibus ejus. [Responsorium] Requiem aeternam dona eis, Domine, Et lux perpetua luceat eis. A porta inferi Erue Domine animam ejus Requiescat in pace Amen Domine, exaudi orationem meam Et clamor meus ad te veniat. Requiescat in pace Amen [Antiphon: John 11: 25-26] I am the resurrection and the life: he that believeth in me, although he be dead, shall live: And every one that liveth and believeth in me shall not die for ever. [A Song in steps: Psalm 130 - De profundis] From the depths, I have cried out to you, O Lord; Lord, hear my voice. Let your ears be attentive to the voice of my supplication. If you, Lord, were to mark iniquities, who, O Lord, shall stand? For with you is forgiveness; and because of your law, I stood by you, Lord. My soul has stood by his word. My soul has hoped in the Lord. From the morning watch, even until night, let Israel hope in the Lord. For with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he will redeem Israel from all his iniquities. [Response] Grant them eternal rest, Lord, And let perpetual light shine on them. From the gate of hell deliver his soul, O Lord Lord, Hear my prayer May he restin peace Amen Hear my prayer, O Lord And let my crying come unto thee May he rest in peace Amen
