Benedicam Domino by Robert Johnson — Lyrics
English|Latin|
Benedicam Domino in omni tempore: semper laus eius in ore meo.
O Lord with all my heart and mind I will give laud and praise to thee,
thou art so loving and so kind thy majesty preserved me
when I was thrall and full of woe.
Therefore semper laus eius in ore meo.
I was in care and heaviness, my enemies were so full of grudge,
they thought their power should me oppress

About Benedicam Domino
Robert Johnson's motet Benedicam Domino is an anthem for SATB choir. The text, in English, sets a prayer of thanksgiving and praise to God, acknowledging His protection and mercy. The opening line, 'Benedicam Domino in omni tempore', sets the devotional tone, promising perpetual praise. The music likely reflects the sacred nature of the text, offering a rich harmonic setting for the choir. This piece would suit a service or concert with a devotional focus, drawing on the rich tradition of English sacred music.
