Attende Domine by Christoph Dalitz — Lyrics
(Refrain) Atténde Dómine, et miserére,
quia peccávimus tíbi.
1. Ad te Réx súmme, ómnium Redémptor,
óculos nóstros sublevámus fléntes:
exáudi, Chríste, supplicántum préces.
2. Déxtera Pátris, lápis anguláris,
vía salútis, jánua cæléstis,
áblue nóstri máculas delícti:

About Attende Domine
This powerful Latin motet is suitable for Lent or any penitential season. The text is a plea for mercy, beginning with the refrain 'Attende Domine, et miserere, quia peccavimus tibi' (Hear us, O Lord, and have mercy, for we have sinned against thee). The composer Christoph Dalitz sets this solemn text for choir, providing an opportunity for expressive vocal writing. The music reflects the penitential nature of the lyrics, urging reflection on sin and a humble appeal for divine forgiveness. Its sacred character makes it an appropriate choice for liturgical settings where contemplation and supplication are central.
