Hymnus No. 3 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart — Lyrics
Gottheit! Gottheit! Dir Preis und Ehre!
Singet laut vereinte Chöre
euern jubelvollen Dank!
Ihm, den tausend Welten preisen,
Ihm dem Gütigen und Weisen,
weihen wir den Lobgesang.
Ihm dem Gütigen weihen wir den Lobgesang.
Von des Mittags heissen Sande
bis zum fernsten Meeresstrande
steigen Opfer Dir empor.
Früh ertönen unsre Lieder

About Hymnus No. 3
This motet by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is suited for occasions of high praise and thanksgiving. The German text calls for united choirs to sing praises to a benevolent and wise God, whom a thousand worlds extol. The music reflects the soaring, jubilant mood of the lyrics, with voices rising in "euern jubelvollen Dank!" (your jubilant thanks!). The text extends this devotion from the heat of midday to the furthest shores, with songs ascending in the morning and echoing again in the evening. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic expression, suitable for a choir wishing to offer a profound expression of unwavering faith and commitment.
