All thy works praise thee, O Lord by Thomas Adams — Lyrics
Laudatio ipsi David. Exaltabo te, Deus meus rex, et benedicam nomini tuo in saeculum,
et in saeculum saeculi.
Per singulos dies benedicam tibi, et laudabo nomen tuum in saeculum, et in saeculum saeculi.
Magnus Dominus, et laudabilis nimis, et magnitudinis ejus non est finis.
Generatio et generatio laudabit opera tua, et potentiam tuam pronuntiabunt.
Magnificentiam gloriae sanctitatis tuae loquentur, et mirabilia tua narrabunt.
Et virtutem terribilium tuorum dicent, et magnitudinem tuam narrabunt.
Memoriam abundantiae suavitatis tuae eructabunt, et justitia tua exsultabunt.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: patiens, et multum misericors.
Suavis Dominus universis, et miserationes ejus super omnia opera ejus.
Confiteantur tibi, Domine, omnia opera tua, et sancti tui benedicant tibi.
Gloriam regni tui dicent, et potentiam tuam loquentur:

About All thy works praise thee, O Lord
This anthem, setting a text drawn from Psalm 145, is an exultant declaration of praise to God. The Latin original speaks of God's greatness, his everlasting kingdom, and the works and power of his terrible might. The English translation, 'All thy works praise thee, O Lord', captures the essence of this fervent hymn, suitable for occasions of thanksgiving or general praise. Scored for SATB choir, the piece allows for rich harmonic exploration as it builds its devotional message. The composer Thomas Adams crafts a setting that amplifies the text's profound awe and devotion, making it a powerful addition to sacred repertoire.
