Pueri Hebraeorum – Catholic Hymns, Gregorian Chant

This hymn contains some verses from Psalm 24 to accompany the title verse. Unfortunately, the file was incomplete and I had to do some editing (which may be noticeable) in piecing the music together and making my best effort at a video. The lyrics were the most accurate that I could come up with. There are some variations with the song and the scriptural text. The background image is “The Rich Young Man” by Heinrich Hoffmann. The Latin and English follow:

Pueri Hebraeorum, portantes ramos olivarum, obviaverunt Domino, clamantes et dicentes: Hosanna in excelsis!
Domini est terra, et plenitudo ejus; orbis terrarum, et universi qui habitant in eo.
Quia ipse super maria fundavit eum, et super flumina præparavit eum.
Quis ascendet in montem Domini? aut quis stabit in loco sancto ejus?
Pueri Hebraeorum, portantes ramos olivarum, obviaverunt Domino, clamantes et dicentes: Hosanna in excelsis!

Children of the Hebrews, carrying olive branches, have met the Lord, crying and saying: Hosanna in the highest!
The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof: the world, and all they that dwell therein.
For he has founded it upon the seas; and has prepared it upon the rivers.
Who shall ascend into the mountain of the Lord: or who shall stand in his holy place?
The innocent in hands and a pure heart, who hath not taken my name in vain, nor sworn deceit
Children of the Hebrews, carrying olive branches, have met the Lord, crying and saying: Hosanna in the highest!
