Votive antiphon for peace, drawn from Sir. 36:18. It is also used as the introit for OT 24 with the verse Laetatus sum. See also Luther's German version, Verleih uns Frieden.

Musical settings at CPDL

There are also settings by Arnold von Bruck and Gesualdo. The Missa Da pacem attributed to Josquin uses the chant as a cantus firmus.

Da pacem, Domine, in diebus nostris
Quia non est alius
Qui pugnet pro nobis
Nisi tu Deus noster.

Give peace, O Lord, in our time
Because there is no one else
Who will fight for us
If not You, our God.

Donne nous la paix Seigneur en ce jour
Car il n'y a personne d'autre que Toi notre Dieu
Qui combatte pour nous
si ce n'est toi notre Dieu.
