Beati omnes qui timent Dominum by Andreas Schwartz Francus — Lyrics
Canticum graduum. Beati omnes qui timent Dominum, qui ambulant in viis ejus.
Labores manuum tuarum quia manducabis: beatus es, et bene tibi erit.
Uxor tua sicut vitis abundans in lateribus domus tuae;
filii tui sicut novellae olivarum in circuitu mensae tuae.

About Beati omnes qui timent Dominum
This radiant motet for SATTB voices sets a Latin text from Psalm 127, also known as Canticum graduum. The words offer a blessing on those who fear the Lord and walk in His ways, painting a domestic scene of prosperity and familial joy. The composer assures us that such a man shall be blessed, with a wife like a fruitful vine, sons like olive shoots, and a long life filled with peace. The music surely echoes these sentiments of contentment and divine favour, creating a rich and devotional atmosphere through its intricate vocal textures.
