Description

Soprano Solo, SATB Choir, Organ (Piano), and Violin. Transcribed from Mozart's Vesperae Solennes de Confessore. Latin text of Psalm 117. A miniature masterpiece, sure to delight choirs and congregations alike. Psalm 117 does not occur in the RCL Eucharistic Lectionary, but this is a wonderful piece for Morning Prayer, Evening services, or the lengthy "green season" when you need something inspired!

Lyrics

Laudate Dominum, omnes gentes; laudate eum, omnes populi.
Quoniam confirmata est super nos misericordia ejus, et veritas Domini manet in æternum.
Gloria patri et filio et spiritui sancto, sicut erat in principio et nunc et semper et in saecula saeculorum. Amen,

[Praise the Lord, all nations; praise him, all peoples.
Certain is his love and mercy for us, and the faithfulness of the Lord endures forever.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.]
