6 Gradualia by Josef Ohnewald — Lyrics
Deus meus es Tu, et confitebor Tibi,
Deus meus es Tu, et exsultabo Te.
Confitebor Tibi, quoniam exaudisti me
et factus es mihi in salutem.
Jesu nostri miserere, Tu nos parce, nos tuere,
fac videre in terra viventium.
Cohe pedes et sodales, fac sanctorum civium.
Amen.
Propitius esto,
Domine, peccatis nostris,
nequando discant gentes: Ubi est Deus eorum?
Adjuva nos Deus salutaris noster,
et propter honorem nominis Tui, Domine, libera nos.

About 6 Gradualia
This setting of the Gradualia for SATB choir offers a devotional experience rooted in sacred Latin texts. The music would be fitting for a solemn liturgical occasion, perhaps within Mass or an office. The composer explores themes of personal devotion and divine protection, with texts drawn from scripture and tradition. The opening lines express profound gratitude and exultation, while later sections call for mercy, protection from enemies, and praise for God's magnificent name. The music guides the choir through expressions of trust and reliance on God, making it a suitable choice for services seeking spiritual depth and reflection.
