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. Firminus Caron's contrafactum Da pacem Domine-Accoeuille m’a la belle uses a very loosely related text.

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

Gib Frieden, Herr, in unseren Tagen
Denn es ist kein anderer
Der für uns kämpfen würde
Wenn nicht du, unser Gott.

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.
