Bridgewater by Lewis Edson — Lyrics
Laus cantici ipsi David. Venite, exsultemus Domino; jubilemus Deo salutari nostro;
praeoccupemus faciem ejus in confessione, et in psalmis jubilemus ei:
quoniam Deus magnus Dominus, et rex magnus super omnes deos.
Quia in manu ejus sunt omnes fines terrae, et altitudines montium ipsius sunt;
quoniam ipsius est mare, et ipse fecit illud, et siccam manus ejus formaverunt.
Venite, adoremus, et procidamus, et ploremus ante Dominum qui fecit nos:
quia ipse est Dominus Deus noster, et nos populus pascuae ejus, et oves manus ejus.

About Bridgewater
Lewis Edson's Bridgewater offers a setting for SATB choir that blends Latin and English texts, reflecting a tradition of sacred hymnody. The Latin opening draws from Psalm 95, a call to rejoice and sing praises to God as Creator and King, urging a humble approach before Him. The subsequent English text likely continues this theme of devotion and faithfulness. This hymn is designed to be a powerful and moving expression of faith, suitable for congregational singing or a dedicated choral offering.
