John the Baptist - Baptism of Our Lord
Cathedrale Sainte Trinite, Port-au-Prince (pre-earthquake)
 
(See http://www.episcopalchurch.org/page/salvaged-historic-murals for more)

Among those born of women
there arose none greater than John the Baptist
who prepared the way of the Lord in the wilderness.
Alleluia.

A man was sent by God
whose name was John,
who prepared the way of the Lord in the wilderness.

(translation via Choral Public Domain Library)



Cristóbal de Morales (1500 - 1553) - Inter Natos

Inter natos mulierum
non surrexit maior Iohanne Baptista
qui viam Domini praeparavit in heremo.
Alleluia.

Fuit homo missus a Deo
cui nomen erat Iohannes,
qui viam Domini praeparavit in heremo.
