Day 8 of 100 day Gregorian chant challenge.
I had the honour to sing at two funerals recently. The music for the Requiem Mass and burial and everything is so right. This chant is sung after Mass, either at the burial or if that is delayed, then it can be sung at the church.
The words come from a conversation between Jesus and Martha before he raised her brother Lazarus from the dead.
The canticle in the middle is from the Morning prayer of the Church. Prayers said on rising from bed are fitting for thoughts on the final resurrection.
Ego sum resurrectio et vita: qui credit in me, etiam si mortuus fuerit vivet: at omnia qui vivit et credit in me, non morietur in aeternum.
I am the resurrection and the life, he that believes in me, even if he dies, he shall live; and everyone who lives and believes in me shall not die forever.
