Justus Germinabit and Passer Invenit – Catholic Gregorian Chant Songs
I included two hymns in this video, the first is “Justus Germinabit” compiled from the book of Hosea. The second is “Passer Invenit” from Psalm 84:4-5. The lyrics and rough translation to both is as follows:
Alleluia. Justus germinabit sicut lilium: et florebit in aeternum ante Dominum. Alleluia.
Alleluia. The just shall spring like the lily: and shall flourish forever before the Lord. Alleluia
Passer invenit sibi domum, et turtur nidum sibi, ubi ponat pullos suos : altaria tua, Domine virtutum, rex meus, et Deus meus. Beati qui habitant in domo tua, Domine; in sæcula sæculorum laudabunt te.
For the sparrow has found herself a house, and the turtle a nest for herself where she may lay her young ones: Your altars, O Lord of hosts, my king and my God. Blessed are they that dwell in your house, O Lord: they shall praise you for ever and ever.

The Words and Teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ – Part 2/2
This is the second part of my videos on the word of Jesus Christ. Again, these are only a select few of the many and all important and life giving truth of his voice. The songs in this video are the Nomina Offerentium by the monks of Santo Domingo dos Silos Gregorian Chant, and the Hierarchical Entrance Rite of Byzantine Chant. The images, meant to give some variety to the video are (not in order) Christ disputing with the doctors, Christs charge to St. Peter, Jesus cures the blind man, Jesus teaching at the Temple, Sermon on the mount, and Christ and the rich young man. The quotes are from the RSV, RSV-CE and DR Bibles.

The Words and Teachings of our Lord Jesus Christ – Part 1/2
This is the first part of two videos which show the great words and teachings of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. I have only included a handful, probably the most well known. For every word that proceeded from His mouth was wonderful. The quotes are taken from the RSV-CE, RSV, and DRB Bibles. There are various images showing Christs life throughout. Please forgive me for any errors.

Достойно есть, Axion Estin, It Is Truly Right – Byzantine Chant
This is the same hymn as my previous video. The difference is, that the previous video was the Greek version and this one is Slavonic. There follows the Slavonic lyrics, the English phonetic, and the English rough translation:
Достойно есть, яко воистинну,
блажити Тя, Богородицу,
присноблаженную и пренепорочную,
и Матерь Бога нашего.
Честнѣйшую Херувимъ
и славнѣйшую безъ сравненія Серафимъ,
безъ истлѣнія Бога Слова рождшую,
сущую Богородицу Тя величаемъ.
Dostoĭno yestʹ , yako voistinnu ,
blazhiti Tya , Bogoroditsu ,
prisnoblazhennuyu i preneporochnuyu ,
i Materʹ Boga nashego .
Chestnѣĭshuyu Kheruvimʺ
i slavnѣĭshuyu bezʺ sravneníya Serafimʺ ,
bezʺ istlѣníya Boga Slova rozhdshuyu ,
sushchuyu Bogoroditsu Tya velichaemʺ .
It is truly right to bless thee, O Theotokos,
ever blessed, and most pure, and the Mother of our God.
More honorable than the cherubim,
and beyond compare more glorious than the seraphim.
Without corruption thou gavest birth to God the Word.
True Theotokos, we magnify thee.

Axion Estin, Άξιον εστίν, Достóйно éсть – Byzantine Chant
This Marian hymn of praise is found in the Divine Liturgy of St. John Chrysostom at the conclusion of the Anaphora. It is sung at Matins, Compline, and other services as well. The Phonetic, Greek and rough English Translation follow:
English Phonetic:
Áxion estín o̱s ali̱thó̱s makarízein se ti̱n Theotókon,
ti̱n aeimakáriston kai panamó̱mi̱ton kai mi̱téra tou Theoú i̱mó̱n.
Ti̱n timio̱téran to̱n Cherouveím kai endoxotéran asynkríto̱s to̱n Serafeím
ti̱n adiafthóro̱s Theón Lógon tekoúsan, ti̱n ónto̱s Theotókon,
Se megalýnomen.
Greek:
Άξιον εστίν ως αληθώς μακαρίζειν σε την Θεοτόκον,
την αειμακάριστον και παναμώμητον και μητέρα του Θεού ημών.
Την τιμιωτέραν των Χερουβείμ και ενδοξοτέραν ασυγκρίτως των Σεραφείμ
την αδιαφθόρως Θεόν Λόγον τεκούσαν,
την όντως Θεοτόκον,
Σε μεγαλύνομεν.
English:
It is truly right to bless thee, O Theotokos,
ever blessed, and most pure, and the Mother of our God.
More honorable than the cherubim, and beyond compare more glorious than the seraphim.
Without corruption thou gavest birth to God the Word.
True Theotokos, we magnify thee.
