Lyrics: John 3:16 / Anon

Sic Deus dilexit mundum ut Filium suum unigenitum daret, ut omnis qui credit in eum non pereat, sed habeat vitam æternam.

Circumdederunt me gemitus mortis: dolores inferni circumdederunt me.

God so loved the world that he sent his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

The groans of death have encompassed me: the miseries of hell have enveloped me.
