Choir Anthem: The White Dove by Johannes Brahms
1 A snow-white dove from heaven flew down to the earth; in angel form it greeting a maiden
of lowly birth. With peace and joy its tiding filled her breast, for she, above all women, would
be forever blest. Kyrie eleison.
2 The gates of heaven would open; the angel then did tell, and Christ, our blest Redeemer, would deign on earth to dwell. The Holy Babe who lay her arms within should be the promised Savior to purge the world from sin. Kyrie eleison.
3 And when our life is ended, on thee will we call, the Son of Holy Mary, who died to save us all. In mercy, hear us when we cry to thee; from fear of death’s dark angel, O Jesus, set us free. Kyrie eleison.
German folksong, tr. W. G. Rotherly
