Acceptance by Oliver Holden — Lyrics

Alleluja. Aleph. Beati immaculati in via, qui ambulant in lege Domini. Beati qui scrutantur testimonia ejus; in toto corde exquirunt eum. Non enim qui operantur iniquitatem in viis ejus ambulaverunt. Tu mandasti mandata tua custodiri nimis. Utinam dirigantur viae meae ad custodiendas justificationes tuas. Tunc non confundar, cum perspexero in omnibus mandatis tuis. Confitebor tibi in directione cordis, in eo quod didici judicia justitiae tuae. Justificationes tuas custodiam; non me derelinquas usquequaque. Beth. In quo corrigit adolescentior viam suam? in custodiendo sermones tuos. In toto corde meo exquisivi te; ne repellas me a mandatis tuis. In corde meo abscondi eloquia tua, ut non peccem tibi. Benedictus es, Domine; doce me justificationes tuas. In labiis meis pronuntiavi omnia judicia oris tui. In via testimoniorum tuorum delectatus sum, sicut in omnibus divitiis. In mandatis tuis exercebor, et considerabo vias tuas. In justificationibus tuis meditabor: non obliviscar sermones tuos. Ghimel. Retribue servo tuo, vivifica me, et custodiam sermones tuos. Revela oculos meos, et considerabo mirabilia de lege tua. Incola ego sum in terra: non abscondas a me mandata tua. Concupivit anima mea desiderare justificationes tuas in omni tempore. Increpasti superbos; maledicti qui declinant a mandatis tuis.

About Acceptance

This arrangement of the hymn Acceptance sets a Latin text which speaks of the blessedness of those who keep God's law and seek Him with their whole heart. The composer's setting for SATB choir moves between the original Latin and an English translation, creating a reflective and devotional atmosphere. The text draws on Psalm 119, exploring themes of righteousness, guidance, and the importance of upholding divine commandments. The piece is suitable for sacred occasions, offering a moment of contemplation and spiritual assurance to both choir and congregation through its blend of ancient text and accessible musical setting.
