As 9/11 Approaches: Laudate Pueri Dominum -- The Manhasset High School Kinsmen

Over 40 people from the Long Island hamlet of Manhasset died in the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Here, the Manhasset High School Kinsmen dedicated their touching rendition of Felix Mendelssohn's Laudate Pueri Dominum (Praise the Lord, Ye Children) in memory of those who perished.
Latin:

Laudate pueri Dominum:
laudate nomen Domini.

Sit nomen Domini benedictum:
ex hoc nunc et usque in sæculum.


English:

Praise the Lord, ye children:
praise the name of the Lord.

Blessed be the name of the Lord:
from henceforth now and for ever.
