Go Forth Filled With Thy Gifts

Fauré's Cantique de Jean Racine is a piece I've heard a hundred times but one I could hear a thousand times more. I chose it today because it is simply beautiful music, but as I read the text, it seems like a very fitting prayer start a new year. The accompaniment in this recording (with strings and harp added to the original organ score) is by John Rutter.

English translation:

Word of God, one with the Most High,
in Whom alone we have our hope,
Everlasting light of heaven and earth,
We break the silence of the peaceful night;
Saviour Divine, cast thine eyes upon us!

Pour on us the fire of thy mighty grace,
That all hell may flee at the sound of the voice;
Banish the slumber of a weary soul,
That brings forgetfulness of thy laws!

O Christ, look with favour upon thy faithful people
Now gathered here to praise thee;
Receive their hymns offered to thy endless glory;
May they go forth filled with thy gifts.
