THE
OFFERENDA ANTIPHON
commonly called the Offertory
The
choir sings this chant in a repetitive manner as shown below. We would like to show
the ornate chant notation for this Officium; perhaps in the future we
may add the notation to this site. The Offerenda for Sept. 14 is
as follows.
Offerenda
Protege, tone 2:
Protect Thy people, O Lord, by
the sign of the holy Cross, from all
the snares of all our enemies, that we may show to Thee obedience
well-pleasing, and that our sacrifice may be made acceptable unto Thee,
alleluya.
Verse:
O
Saviour of the world, save us all, and mercifully grant us all things
beneficial for us, and all things hurtful drive away from us
straightway, and stretch forth unto us the right hand of Thy majesty to
protect us. (Cantor bows.)
Choir:
Protect
Thy people...
Verse:
Thou
that for the world’s salvation didst innocently hang upon on the wood
of the Cross: have mercy on the people whom Thou hast redeemed, that
signed by its most holy seal they may be made secure from all
dangers. (Cantor bows.)
Choir:
Protect
Thy people...
Verse:
Thee,
O holy Cross of God, we humbly entreat, that with thy mighty power thou
wouldst strengthen our hearts, preserve our souls, sanctify our
thoughts, through Christ Jesus, Who hung upon thee.
(Cantor bows.)
Choir:
Protect Thy
people...
