Benedictus es Domine by John Brown — Lyrics
1. Blessed art Thou, O Lord God of our Fathers:
Praised and exalted above all forever.
2. Blessed art Thou, in the name of Thy majesty:
Praised and exalted above all forever.
3. Blessed art Thou, in the temple of Thy holiness:
Praised and exalted above all forever.
4. Blessed art Thou, that beholdest the depths and dwellest between the Cherubim:
Praised and exalted above all forever.
5. Blessed art Thou in the glorious throne of Thy kingdom:
Praised and exalted above all forever.

About Benedictus es Domine
This setting of the Benedictus es Domine by John N Brown is ideal for morning services. Written for SATB choir, it sets the traditional English text, which praises and exalts God above all. The music should reflect the grandeur of the text, from God's majesty and the temple of his holiness to his dwelling between the Cherubim and his glorious throne. The recurring phrase 'Praised and exalted above all forever' provides a powerful, unifying motif throughout the piece. The setting concludes with the familiar Doxology, 'Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost', bringing a sense of completion and continuity to the worship.
