Benedictus es Domine by Miles l'Anson Martin — Lyrics
Daniel 3: 5256 (commonly referred to as the Song of the Three Children.)
Blessed art thou, O Lord God of our fathers; praised and exalted above all for ever.
Blessed art thou for the Name of thy Majesty; praised and exalted above all for ever.
Blessed art thou in the temple of thy holiness; Blessed art thou that beholdest the depths, and dwellest between the Cherubim; praised and exalted above all for ever.

About Benedictus es Domine
The Benedictus es Domine is a powerful setting of the Song of the Three Children from the Book of Daniel. Miles l'Anson Martin crafts a rich SATB texture to convey the profound praise and adoration expressed in the text. The music rises to exalt God, celebrating His majesty, holiness, and presence throughout His creation, from the temple to the firmament of heaven. The composer captures the awe-inspiring nature of the ancient words, particularly in the climactic invocation of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. This work offers a compelling opportunity for choirs to explore a deeply spiritual and musically rewarding setting of a significant biblical canticle.
