Anthem    Nolo mortem peccatoribus    Elizabeth J. Atikinson
Words: John Redford (d. 1547)

Nolo mortem peccatoris:
Haec sunt verba Salvatoris.

I do not want the death of the wicked;
These are the words of the Savior.

Father, I am thine only son,
Sent down from heaven mankind to save!
Father, all things fulfilled and done
According to thy will I have;
Father, now all my will is this:
Nolo mortem peccatoris.

Father, behold my pains most smart,
Taken for man on every side,
E’en from my birth to death most tart;
No kind of pain I have denied,
But suffered all for love of this:
Nolo mortem peccatoris
