Donnez au Seigneur gloire by Philippe de Monte — Lyrics
Donnez au Seigneur gloire, il est doux et clément,
et sa bonté notoire, dur'éternellement,
Ceux qu'il a rachaptez, qu'ils chantent sa hautesse,
et ceux qu'il a jectez hors de la main d'oppresse.

About Donnez au Seigneur gloire
This Sacred French motet, Donnez au Seigneur gloire, is scored for SATTB voices. Philippe de Monte sets a text that calls for giving glory to God, praising his clemency and eternal goodness. The lyrics speak of those redeemed by God singing his praises and being rescued from oppressors. It further describes God gathering his people from all directions and providing refuge for the lost and wandering. The rich five-part texture allows for a full and resonant expression of these devotional sentiments, making it suitable for liturgical settings or concert programs focused on sacred repertoire.
