Requiem Novum: III. Cry Not in Anguished Voices
Mårten Jansson
Cry not in anguished voices
For gifts already given
He sees the pain our choices
Inflict on hopes of heaven.
It is we who must have mercy,
Each one upon another
Whyever would one curse
Him who is himself our brother?
The Lord has mercy boundless
And that He freely gives
Our fear of death is groundless,
For he who died now lives!
