About Austria
The words of this motet, drawn from Psalm 134, implore the servants of the Lord to bless Him, particularly those who serve in His house. They speak of lifting hands in holiness during the night and invoking God's blessing from Zion, the maker of heaven and earth. Samuel Holyoke sets this sacred text in Latin for STB choir, offering a devotional reflection. The motet also includes an English translation, making it accessible for choirs and congregations seeking to engage with the profound message of praise and divine blessing.
