Latin term (edited):

Selected
All you who are thirsty, come, come to the water of the Lord!
The correct spelling is: "Venite, venite sitientes ad aquas Domini", taken from Isaiah (55,1) and sung on the Saturday of the IV Week of Lent, the so called "Sabbatum sitientes (Saturday of the Thirsty)", in the pre-tridentine liturgy.

Note from asker:
| Thank you for this translation. The 'incorrect' spelling appears to be the standard title for this motet. The Isaiah reference was a very welcome bonus. Although motet lyrics often combine, and deviate from, biblical texts, when introducing an item in a (community) radio broadcast it is very useful being able to nominate a resource on many listeners' own bookshelves. |
