Dum Pater Familias

[Michel Besson]

The complete words and translation, as they appear in
the booklet accompanying Philip Pickett's recording is
in attachment to this e-mail.

The recording is:

The Pilgrimage to Santiago
New London Consort - Philip Pickett
Editions de l'Oiseau Lyre - 1991
433 148-2

There are quite a few recordings of the Dum pater
familias.

I can send them to you directly (rather than through
the list) if you wish

DUM PATER FAMILIAS

Dum pater familias
Rex universorum
Donaret provincias
Ius apostolorum
Jacobus Yspanias
Lux illustrat morum.

Primus ex apostolis
Martir Jerosolimis
Jacobus egregio
Sacer est martyrio.

Jacobi Gallecia
Opem rogat piam
Plebe cuius glori
Dat insignem viam
Ut precum frequentia
Cantet melodiam:

"Herru Sanctiagu
Grot Sanctiagu
Eultreya esuseya
Deus aia nos."

Primus ex apostolis...

Jacobo dat parium
Omnis mundos gratis
Ob cuius remedium
Miles pietatis
Cunctorum presidium
Est ad vota satis.

Primus ex apostolis...

Jacobum oraculis
Que fiunt per illum
Arctis in periculis
Acclamet ad illum
Quisquis solvi vinculis
Sperat propter illum.

Primus ex apostolis...

0 beate Jacobe
Virtus nostra vere
Nobis hostes remove
Tuos ac tuere
Ac devotos adibe
Nos tibi placere.

Primus ex apostolis...

Jacobe propicio
Veniam speremus
Et quas ex obsequio
Merito debemus
Patri tam eximio
Dignas laudes demus.

Primos ex apostolis...

When God the Father,
the universal ruler
apportioned earthly provinces
Among the apostles,
James was chosen
to enlighten Spain.

First among apostles,
martyred in Jerusalem,
the noble James
is sanctified in martyrdom.

Galicia piously
Sought James' aid:
his glory is a signpost
to the people.
Their frequent prayers
ring out in song:

'Holy St. James,
great St. James,
in our land, God helps us
now and evermore.'

First among apostles...

The whole world freely
gives thanks to James:
through his sacrifice
he, the warrior of godliness,
is a great defence to all
through their prayers.

First among apostles...

Whoever hopes to be freed
from his bonds, for James' sake,
calls on his name
in times of great danger
because of the miracles
which come about through him.

First among apostles...

0 blessed James,
truly our strength,
take our enemies from us
and protect your people,
and cause us, your faithful servants,
to please you.

First among apostles...

James, let us hope
for pardon, through your favour,
and let us give
the worthy praise
which we rightfully owe in duty
to so excellent a father.

First among apostles...
