Here is our rendition of "O Sacred Head Surrounded."
Have a blessed Holy Week and Easter everyone!
We hope you enjoy listening to it as much as we enjoyed singing it!
Lyrics:
O sacred Head surrounded
By crown of piercing thorn!
O bleeding Head, so wounded,
Reviled and put to scorn!
Death's pallid hue comes o'er Thee,
The glow of life decays,
Yet angel hosts adore Thee
And tremble as they gaze.
What language shall I borrow
To thank Thee, dearest Friend,
For this, Thy dying sorrow,
Thy pity without end?
O make me Thine forever;
And should I fainting be,
Lord, let me never, never
Outlive my love for Thee.
German:
O Haupt voll Blut und Wunden,
Voll Schmerz und voller Hohn,
O Haupt, zum Spott gebunden
Mit einer Dornenkron;
O Haupt, sonst schön gezieret
Mit höchster Ehr' und Zier,
Jetzt aber höchst schimpfieret:
Gegrüßet sei'st du mir!
Latin:
Haec Tibi dona pura, o Deus, placeant.
Te omnis creatura coelique celebrant.
Nos quoque Te laudamus per almam hostiam.
Et supplices placamus Tuam justitiam.
A Te, Pater, creati nos Tibi reddimus.
Tibique consecrati vivemus sanctius.
Virtutibus sanctorum plebs Tua floreat.
Spectaculum coelorum orbis refulgeat.
English Translation - Last 3 Verses:
O sacred Head, now wounded,
with grief and shame weighed down,
Now scornfully surrounded
with thorns, Thine only crown;
O sacred Head, what glory,
what bliss till now was Thine!
Yet, though despised and gory,
I joy to call Thee mine.
May these pure gifts be pleasing to Thee, O God.
All of creation and the heavens glorify Thee.
We also praise Thee by this nourishing sacrifice.
And suppliantly placate Thy justice.
Created by Thee, Father, we give ourselves back to Thee.
And, consecrated to Thee, may we our lives be more holy.
May Thy people flourish with the virtues of the saints.
May the world reflect the glory of heaven.

the german part was REALY solid, great job!

[@clementprohin5690]

May god bless you and your Week too! Thank you so much!

[@karecare2224]

I truly can say I have never heard a more beautiful rendition - all of your beautiful voices together praising Our Lord - Perfect start to Holy Week, thank you, God bless.

[@BrotherhoodWorkshop]

As a Christian Tolkien nerd, I fully approve of how you choose to use your skill.

[@shadow_ninja9149]

thou I be not a Christian(a true one at any rate thou I do believe thou I'm not a official follower of the faith) I do appreciate the culture and music..so as a true Christian and a Tolkien fan(as am I dear sir) I see you as a man of culture and worthy of the highest of honours.

Great to see you there bro

I thought the same thing. Add it to the Lent playlist.

[@Dudin4tor]

I should know you guys by now, but I was not ready for the German and the Latin. Brilliantly done!

[@Kimse05]

Indeed. Their german was really good. Only minor pronounciation differences and the "st" endings sounding like "scht" but that no big deal imo. Sounded really good!

[@wilhufftarkin8543]

@@Kimse05 But in the word "Spott" it's correct to pronounce it like "schp". It was only wrong to pronounce it like "scht" in "sonst" and "höchster".

[@Kimse05]

@@wilhufftarkin8543 true. Didn't think of Spott anyway xD that was flawless.

[@jakovslezak2278]

This one trully is a masterpiece. It is a little bit sad that people don't watch these Christian compositions as much as fantasy themed ones, but I am really glad you still choose to sing them. To choose this over everyday populary, trully brings a smile on my face.

[@Lughrochben]

I played your music to my grandparents while my grandmother was dying from cancer. It brought them some peace in such a terrible time for them. She's passed now, but I just wanted to thank you for your beautiful work. Even the brief respite it brought was a Godsend. Thank you all.

[@elisabettebasile1136]

Absolutely beautiful! We were listening to this during Catholic Easter with our new 8 Ukrainian friends who live with us in Poland since the beginning of the war, so this year we’ll have two Easters as they’re Orthodox - never too much of praising our Lord ❤️

Always remember, Tolkien spoke the 'Our Father' into a tape recorder to ensure it harboured no demons before using it. Also Christ is King.

[@mathiusq9128]

Probably in Latin too

[@NormanKnight-rp9je]

In Gothic apparently.

[@chinmustache6420]

Such a beautiful rendition, and sung so well in three languages!

[@viribusunitis8617]

Wonderful, great rendition! We sang this in church today, after the reading of the Passion - though with somewhat less expert voices. Have a blessed Holy Week all of you, may the Lord guide each and everyone of His flock through these troubled times!

[@sonyahannah]

Your heavenly performance has added to the joy of OUR Easter week -- may God requite you richly for giving so freely.

[@ray_isback9116]

Could you guys sing "Salve Regina"? I've been really into Templar chants recently and I think your voices would make it even better

[@filiadei5560]

That would be perfect for their voices!

[@chumegathegoat7750]

YES PLEASE!!! More chant! Do the solemn tone salve with a drone! Or better yet, the dies irea!!! (with a drone)! You guys sound great as always!

[@robertflores9564]

@@chumegathegoat7750 YES

[@skilo581]

Catholics pray the Salve Regina after the Rosary and after the Latin Mass. Not sure if it's a templar chant though I'm sure the templars chanted it too.

I am so glad I am early for once. May God bless you all in this holy week.

[@dominicstarr3065]

Just got back from mass, where I sang this in my small parish choir!!!! This rendition is Absolutely Beautiful!!!! Thank You!!!

[@KyleOfCanada]

What a beautiful rendition of this song. I especially appreciated the thematic shift in tone between the verses from a more traditional to sorrowful then regal sense with the musical accompaniment. That was an excellent touch, and the German and Latin were both a treat also. Have a blessed Holy Week.

[@darktenor4967]

A lovely arrangement of a beautiful hymn, in multiple languages! I particularly admire the way that all the diction is absolutely clear, even when you're singing in parts, indeed your voices blend seamlessly My only regret is not being able to sing with you myself, but its still wonderful to hear.

[@trajanfidelis1532]

God bless Clamavi De Profundis

[@elvishouck]

Praise Jesus Christ!

[@valerioangioletti8820]

Non ci sono parole..emozione pura..il vostro posto e l..olimpo degli deiiiiiiiiiii.

[@EdrichHorn]

My naive hope for the church is the reunification of all denominations under one banner and have worship together once more like the old days. We can have our differences, but we don't need to be so separated from each other. We can have at least one Sunday a year where we have a service for all denominations. Just imagine 1 billion Christians coming together united in Christ for His glory alone.

[@fr.timothygeckle1119]

This is fantastic!! I wish I could give it more than one like on here. We need more of this type of music! Have a grace filled holy week and Easter. Laudentur Jesus et Maria!

[@DIWhyNotTry]

There needs to be more music like this in the world. It sticks with me and leads to reflection. Great job!

I didn’t expect myself to be this early but oh boy does this make me excited! Thank you guys for every video!

[@everrettbreezewood3665]

It's kind of saddening how few people watch these Christian songs compared with your fantasy songs. I wonder if most people "love the darkness so much more than light" that they will seek a "more fake" world in fantasy instead of the most real world of all through Christ the Way. But many props to you for being courageous enough to sing Christian songs in an increasingly hostile world. I for one am incredibly glad you did this wonderful song! May God bless you this Holy Week for willingly choosing Him over popularity!
