Music For Lent, 2016 (Day 43)

As the Triduum fast approaches, here's "Vexilla regis prodeunt," from the great Austrian composer, Anton Bruckner. (Also, here's the entire playlist thus far.)

Vexilla regis prodeunt:
Fulget crucis mysterium
Quo carne carnis conditor,
Suspensus est patibulo.

The Royal Banner forward goes,

The mystic Cross refulgent glows:
Where He, in Flesh, flesh who made,
Upon the Tree of pain is laid.
