3 Te Deum by Johann Michael Haydn — Lyrics
Te Deum laudamus: te Dominum confitemur.
Te aeternum patrem, omnis terra veneratur.
Tibi omnes Angeli: tibi caeli et universae potestates.
Tibi cherubim et seraphim, incessabili voce proclamant:
"Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus Dominus Deus Sabaoth.
Pleni sunt caeli et terra maiestatis gloriae tuae."
Te gloriosus Apostolorum chorus,
Te Prophetarum laudabilis numerus,
Te Martyrum candidatus laudat exercitus.
Te per orbem terrarum sancta confitetur Ecclesia:
Patrem immensae maiestatis;
Venerandum tuum verum et unicum Filium;
Sanctum quoque Paraclitum Spiritum.
Tu rex gloriae, Christe:

About 3 Te Deum
This setting of the Te Deum by Johann Michael Haydn is suitable for use in a major liturgical occasion. The traditional Latin text is a hymn of praise to God, from the opening words 'We praise thee, O God' to the declaration 'Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of Sabaoth'. It celebrates the glory of the Trinity, the heavenly hosts, the apostles, prophets, and martyrs, and the Church on earth. Haydn's SATB setting is a robust and celebratory musical response to this ancient and powerful text, offering opportunities for both devotional reflection and grand choral declaration.
