Beati omnes qui timent Dominum - Ecce sic benedicetur homo

This motet by Hans Leo Hassler is suitable for services or concerts throughout the liturgical year, particularly when texts on blessing and divine favour are appropriate. The SATB choir sings in Latin, drawing from Psalm 128. The text is a prayer for those who fear the Lord, promising abundant blessings on their work, family, and descendants, with a vision of long-term prosperity and peace for Israel. Hassler crafts a setting that reflects the joyful assurance of the psalm, offering a rich choral texture that would resonate well in a sacred setting.
