The Wish
We're singing this in choir, it totally hit me last time we sang it. Chilling and beautiful.
THE WISH
Lux tue spleneat, I wish not wish you glory,
nor the radiant glow of greatness and prestige,
And I will not wish you riches,
nor lasting treasure,
nor a life of ease.
But that wherever you may go
some weary heart shall gladden at your smile,
or shadowed life know sunshine for a while,
Umbram fugat caritas, (Charity puts shadow to flight
Noctem lux eliminat, as light banishes darkness
Lux tue splendeat, May they light shine,)
May your light shine,
And when your heart is set aright,
your path shall be a track of light,
tread with gentle spirit bright
like angels' footsteps passing through the night.
Lux tue splendeat.
I will not wish you cleverness,
nor a brilliant min and scholarly acclaim,
And I will not wish you beauty,
dazzling fashion nor a life of fame.
But that wherever you may go,
some darkened soul shall brighten with you care,
or saddened spirit know joy again to share.
And when your heart is set aright,
your path shall be a track of light,
tread with gentle spirit bright
like angels' footsteps passing through the night.
Like angels' footsteps passing through...the...night.
Ok, I'll try to stop with the lyrics for now. But I really like this song! I wish it for anybody who reads this too. ^_^
