Exultet coelum by Sixt Dietrich — Lyrics
1. Exultet coelum laudibus
resultet terra gaudiis
apostolorum gloriam
sacra canunt solemnia.
2. Vos saecli justi judices
et vera mundi lumina
votis precamur cordium
audite preces supplicum.
3. Qui caelum verbo clauditis
serasque ejus solvitis
nos a peccatis omnibus
solvite jussu, quaesumus.
4. Quorum praecepto subditor
salus et languor omnium:
sanate aegros moribus

About Exultet coelum
Sixt Dietrich's Sacred Latin hymn Exultet coelum is set for ATTB voices. The text is a prayer of praise and petition, exalting the glory of the apostles and imploring them to intercede for the faithful. It asks for release from sin and healing of spiritual ailments, culminating in a plea for eternal joy at the final judgment. The hymn concludes with a doxology to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, a common practice in Christian liturgical music. The music reflects the solemnity and devotional character of the text, offering a powerful devotional experience for the choir and listeners.
