La Grace by Jean Crespel — Lyrics
Pere eternel te rendons grace
De tous les biens que nous as faict ,
Nous enclinons devers ta face
Si par exces avons fourfaict
Nous te prions pour tout malfait

About La Grace
Jean Crespel's motet La Grace is written for SATB choir in French. The composer crafts an opening texture that draws the listener into the devotional character of the work, with voices weaving together in careful counterpoint. The text is a prayer of thanksgiving to God, acknowledging his boundless gifts while also seeking forgiveness for past transgressions. The choir's delivery should reflect the sincerity and earnestness of the petition, leading into the Lord's Prayer. This sacred composition offers a thoughtful musical setting of a deeply personal plea for divine grace and mercy, suitable for liturgical or concert use.
