This liturgical work composed by Renaissance composer, Palestrina, is is an extremely melodic and fluid choral work composed in the late 1500s with a libretto written nearly 500 years before that. Hermannus Contractus (also called Herman the Cripple; 1013–1054) is said to have authored the hymn based on the writings of Saints Fulgentius, Epiphanius, and Irenaeus of Lyon. It is mentioned in The Prioress's Tale, one of Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.
Because of its content, the work is often performed during Advent and Epiphany, when the Catholic church ponders and meditates on the mysteries of Blessed Mary and her virgin birth.
LYRICS IN ENGLISH:
Sweet Mother of the Redeemer, the passage to the heavens,
the gate of the spirits of the dead, and the star of the sea, aid the falling.
Mother of Him who cares for the people: you who brought forth
the wonder of Nature, your Creator.
Virgin before and after, who received of Gabriel
with joyful greeting, have pity on us sinners.

LYRICS:
[Verse 1]
We join the hymn of all redemption
We raise a banner for the King
Our golden crowns, we lay them down for Thee

[Pre-Chorus]
So we shout from the depths of our redeemed lungs
For the blood that You shed as our ransom
Hear the sound, heaven shake be exalted
King of Glory overflow

[Chorus]
Almighty God, forever You reign
We worship You, for even the grave
You overcome
We magnify, Your people rejoice
We hands held high, forever we sing
You overcome

[Verse 2]
What kind of judge will leave his chambers
To pardon prodigals and thieves
With a crown thorns, the veil was torn for me

[Pre-Chorus]
So we shout from the depths of our redeemed lungs
For the blood that You shed as our ransom
Hear the sound, heaven shake be exalted
King of Glory overflow
[Chorus]
Almighty God, forever You reign
We worship You, for even the grave
You overcome
We magnify, Your people rejoice
We hands held high, forever we sing
You overcome

[Bridge]
Your people cry, "Holy"
Your people cry, "Holy"
Your people cry, "Holy, holy, holy"
There is no end
Your people cry, "Holy"
Your people cry, "Holy"
Your people cry, "Holy, holy, holy"
There is no end
Your people cry, "Holy"
Your people cry, "Holy"
Your people cry, "Holy, holy, holy"
There is no end
There is no end

LYRICS:
Are you disappointed?
Are you desperate for help?
You know what it's like to be tired
And only a shell of yourself
Well, you start to believe
You don't have what it takes
'Cause it's all you can do
Just to move, much less finish the race

But don't forget what lies ahead

Almost home
Brother, it won't be long
Soon all your burdens will be gone
With all your strength
Sister, run wild, run free
Hold up your head, keep pressing on
We are almost home

Well, this road will be hard
But we win in the end
Simply because of Jesus in us
It's not if, but when
So take joy in the journey
Even when it feels long
Oh, find strength in each step
Knowing Heaven is cheering you on

We are almost home
Brother, it won't be long
Soon all your burdens will be gone
With all your strength
Sister, run wild, run free
Hold up your head, keep pressing on
We are almost home

Almost home
Almost home

I know that the cross has brought Heaven to us
Make no mistake, there's still more to come
When our flesh and our bone are no longer between
Where we are right now and where we're meant to be
When all that's been lost is made whole again
When these tears and this pain no longer exist
No more walking, we're running as fast as we can
Consider this our second wind

Almost home
Brother, it won't be long
Soon all your burdens will be gone
With all your strength
Sister, run wild, run free
Hold up your head, keep pressing on
We are almost home

Almost home
Almost home

We are almost home
Almost home
Almost home
We are almost home

LYRICS:
True love exists yes I know this
My heart was waiting for you
And when we met I felt my chest
Pound fast, racing for the chance

To know you, to hold you
To open up and show you
The way it feels when you know

You are not alone
Know that I would fight the tides to be together
When you feel alone
Listen to this song to make your heart feel better

Two hearts entwined, yes you are mine
And I'll be your's forever
I've done the math, I'm less than half
We're better off together

And I want you here by my side
As much as you are on my mind
When I'm gone you should know

You are not alone
Know that I would fight the tides to be together
When you feel alone
Listen to this song to make your heart feel better

Rainy Mondays feel like Fridays
When you're smiling at me I can feel
The space between us collapsing
Our love is everlasting

You are not alone
Know that I would fight the tides to be together
When you feel alone
Listen to this song to make your heart feel better

Listen to this song
Let it make your heart feel better
Listen to this song
Let it make your heart feel better
Let it make your heart feel better

LYRICS:
I'm safe and sound
Serene and calm
Whenever I'm here, I know you're with me
My secret place
Where I escape
From all the cares of this race
Because of your grace

CHORUS:
Joy fills my heart
Peace rules and reigns there.
Nothing but love overflows
And your will clearly shown
(When I'm) Alone in the presence of you

Wisdom is served
And life preserved
From all your words that you speak Lord
Power displayed
And weakness fades
All of the pain erased
Because of your great...

CHORUS

When I'm alone with you
My soul learns worship
In spirit and in truth
For the glory of your name

CHORUS

LYRICS:
(Oh-oh, ah-a-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, ah-a-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

Walking through a wasteland
You better keep your head down
Oh, you never raise your eyes
Oh, you never realize (oh-oh-oh)

Between the moon rise and the sunset (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
The answer's out there somewhere (oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
If we were only listening (ah-a-oh)
If we were only listening
The skies would sing

You don't have to be broken
To see there's magic in a shooting star
When you're lost and you're lonesome
Let the heavens show you who you are
Look up and you'll know
That you are already home
Already home

(Oh-oh, ah-a-oh)
(Oh-oh) oh-oh-oh
(Oh-oh, ah-a-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)

There's something in me calling
Across the rocks without water
It's telling me to hurry back
Oh, you better hurry back

To where the moonrise meets the sunset
You'll know it when you find it
Now that you are listening
Now you're really listening
The skies will sing

You don't have to be broken
To see there's magic in a shooting star
When you're lost and you're lonesome
Let the heavens show you who you are
Look up and you'll know
That you are already home
Look up and you'll know
That you are already home
Already home

Up into the sky without a single fear
As everything that held me down disappears
Higher and higher and higher
I'm ten miles tall
I see it all

Look up and you'll know
You are already home
Look up and you'll know
You are already home
Look up and you'll know
You are already home

Won't you look up into the sky
And see that you're already
That you're already home
That you're already home
Look up into the heavens
And won't you see that you are
And won't you see that you are
You are already home
Already home

(Oh-oh, ah-a-oh)
(Oh-oh, oh-oh-oh)
(Oh-oh, ah-a-oh)

LYRICS:
If you had a dime for every time it would rain
On this parade you're marching and gone live
You start to wonder if someone out there's got your number
Well, hold your head up, breathe in deep, remember

Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be all right
Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be all right

We're gonna have those days when it all comes crashing in
Wondering if the sun will ever shine
Before you go and convince yourself you cannot make it
Well, hold your head up, breathe in deep, remember

Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be all right
Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be all right

Well, there's a love much stronger
Than everything that holds you down
Go right now, it's saying
Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be all right, yeah, all right

Well, there's a love much stronger
Than everything that holds you down
Go right now, it's saying
Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be all right, yeah, all right

So next time when you tell yourself this isn't worthy
Hold your head up, breathe in deep, remember

Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be all right
Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be all right

Well, there's a love much stronger
Than everything that holds you down
Go right now, it's saying
Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be all right, yeah

Well, there's a love much stronger
No matter what holds you down
Go right now, it's saying
Ooh, ooh, you know it's gonna be all right
Yeah, it's gonna be all right
Yeah, it's gonna be all right

It's gonna be all, it's gonna be all right
Oh, yeah, yes, it's gonna be all right

Count on pure joy when the world comes crashing
Hold your head up and keep on dancing

Hold your head up and keep on dancing

LYRICS:
Times are harder now
then they've ever been before
(Don't be discouraged)
So much hurt and pain
that it seems so hard to bare
(You gotta remember)

Faith is the only thing

Stand on His promises
that you may be strong

I'm here to let you know
there's always hope for you and me
In spite of what it feels like

Chorus
Well alright,
Keepin' ya head up high no matter cause

Believing a change gon' come today or even tonight
And He's gonna answer every little prayer
Just hold on, wait and see

Crying all night long
feeling like you're so alone
(But don't you worry)
Cause season's have to change
It won't always be this way (so just remember)

Love is the only key
that opens every door
Releases everything
All that you need and more
I've got to let you know
there's always hope for you and me
In spite of what it seems like

Repeat Chorus

There's so much life
to live for
Joy and happiness instore

There's so much more

Buy you gotta ask and you'll receive
Alright, Alright, Alright

Repeat chorus

This is the start
This is your heart
This is the day you were born
This is the sun
These are your lungs
This is the day you were born

And I am always, always
Always yours
I am always, always

These are the scars
Deep in your heart

Comes ripping out
From the places you've been torn

And it is always, always
Always yours
I am always, always
Always yours

Hallelujah!
I'm caving in
Hallelujah!
I'm in love again
Hallelujah!
I'm a wretched man

Always yours
Always, always
Always yours
Always, always
Always yours
