Scott Ferguson, Conductor. March 2012. ---English Poetic Translation: In the midst of troubles and of great calamities, When facing the mountains of life and all of life's burdens, We ask, we seek, we come to understand That You, oh Lord, that You are the true source of Life. In spite of our fears and despite our misfortunes, In this great whirl of pain and of suffering, We discover at last that You, oh Lord, You are the Truth and You are the Light, The Source of all life.
