Aller Augen warten auf Dich, Herre by Christoph Dalitz — Lyrics
Aller Augen warten auf dich, Herr, und du gibst ihnen ihre Speis zu seiner Zeit.
Du tust dein milde Hand auf und sättigest alles, was da lebet, mit Wohlgefallen.
About Aller Augen warten auf Dich, Herre
Christoph Dalitz's Aller Augen warten auf Dich, Herre is a motet for SAT voices, setting a text that functions as a table grace. The composer draws on the rich tradition of sacred German motets. The lyrics, presented in German, English, and Esperanto, express gratitude for sustenance. The first part of the text, "Aller Augen warten auf dich, Herr, und du gibst ihnen ihre Speis zu seiner Zeit," translates to "All eyes wait on you, Lord, and you give them their food in due time." The second part, "Du tust deine milde Hand auf und sättigest alles, was da lebet, mit Wohlgefallen," speaks of God opening his hand and satisfying all living things with favour. Dalitz's setting would suit a service or a concert programme where a reflective and grateful mood is desired.
