Hymn to Saint Martin by David Monks — Lyrics
O virum ineffabilem,
Nec laborem victum,
O virum ineffabilem,
Nec morte vincendum,
Qui nec mori timuit
Nec vivere recusavit.
Oculis et manibus
In coelum semper intentus:

About Hymn to Saint Martin
David Monk’s Hymn to Saint Martin sets a Latin text praising the saint’s unwavering faith and courage. The words speak of a man unconquerable by hardship or death, who faced life and the hereafter without fear, his gaze and hands ever lifted heavenward. He is depicted as a humble man on earth, yet rich in spirit, who enters heaven to be welcomed with celestial hymns. This powerful anthem for SATB voices offers a profound reflection on spiritual devotion and heavenly reward, suitable for services and concerts.
