Behold the morning sun by Thomas Clark — Lyrics
In finem. Psalmus David.
Caeli enarrant gloriam Dei, et opera manuum ejus annuntiat firmamentum.
Dies diei eructat verbum, et nox nocti indicat scientiam.
Non sunt loquelae, neque sermones, quorum non audiantur voces eorum.
In omnem terram exivit sonus eorum, et in fines orbis terrae verba eorum.
In sole posuit tabernaculum suum; et ipse tamquam sponsus procedens de thalamo suo.
Exsultavit ut gigas ad currendam viam;
a summo caelo egressio ejus. Et occursus ejus usque ad summum ejus;
nec est qui se abscondat a calore ejus.
Lex Domini immaculata, convertens animas; testimonium Domini fidele,
sapientiam praestans parvulis.
Justitiae Domini rectae, laetificantes corda; praeceptum Domini lucidum,

About Behold the morning sun
Thomas Clark's SATB setting of Behold the morning sun opens with a jubilant exultation, a glorious proclamation that echoes the grandeur of the heavens. The music builds with palpable energy, reflecting the text's depiction of God's handiwork revealed in the firmament. The Latin psalm text, familiar as Psalm 19, celebrates the unceasing declaration of divine glory, day by day, night by night, and its powerful message resonating throughout the earth. The composer captures the psalm's profound spiritual significance, offering a moving rendition that emphasizes the illuminating power of God's word and the joy it brings to the heart.
