Advent III Gradual, Alleluia and Offertory by Oliver Hayes — Lyrics
Gradual & Alleluia
Qui sedes Domine, super Cherubim, excita potentiam tuam et veni.
Qui regis Israel, intende: qui deducis velut ovem Joseph.
Alleluia, alleluia.
Excita Domine potentiam tuam et veni, ut salvos facias nos.
Alleluia.

About Advent III Gradual, Alleluia and Offertory
Sing this setting of the Mass Propers for the Third Sunday of Advent. Oliver Hayes has written a vibrant ATB arrangement of the Gradual, Alleluia, and Offertory texts in Latin. The Gradual and Alleluia reflect the Advent hope for divine intervention, with the choir calling on the Lord to 'excite thy power and come' to save us. The Offertory, a prayer for God's blessing and forgiveness, speaks of turning away captivity and remitting iniquity. This is a powerful and prayerful musical expression for the season, suitable for a discerning choir.
