Taize Alleluia, Veni, Iam Sure, Wait For The Lord by Taizé — Lyrics
About Taize Alleluia, Veni, Iam Sure, Wait For The Lord
This compilation brings together five beloved Taizé chants, offering choirs a gentle and highly adaptable resource for meditative worship. The collection opens with a joyful "Alleluia" that incorporates the Church Slavonic phrase "Slava tiebie Boze" (Glory to you, O God), followed by the Pentecost invocation "Veni Sancte Spiritus." In this second piece, the choir sustains a quiet Latin ostinato while cantors or soloists weave English verses about Christ's love and discipleship over the harmony.
The remaining chants—"I am Sure I Shall See," "In te Confido," and "Wait For the Lord"—carry a deep sense of trust and quiet longing. In the choir loft, these pieces are especially powerful during Communion, Eucharistic Adoration, or Lenten vigils. The simple, repeating melodies allow both the singers and the congregation to settle into a space of continuous prayer, letting the harmonies build naturally without needing to constantly look at a hymnbook.
