Ad te levavi by Frédéric Debons — Lyrics
Ad te [Domine] levavi animam meam, Deus meus, in te confido:
non erubescam neque irrideant me inimici mei.
Etenim universi qui te expectant non confundentur.

About Ad te levavi
This setting of the Introit for the First Sunday of Advent, Ad te levavi, is ideal for church choirs. Frédéric Debons sets the familiar Latin text for SAB voices. The words express a profound trust in God: "To you, O Lord, I lift up my soul; in you I trust, O my God. Let me not be put to shame, nor let my enemies triumph over me." The music would support the penitential yet hopeful mood of the Advent season, encouraging reflection and anticipation of the coming of Christ. It offers a direct and accessible musical setting of this important liturgical text, suitable for services and concerts.
