Deus misereatur in E-Flat by Thomas Sanders Dupuis — Lyrics
In finem, in hymnis. Psalmus cantici David.
Deus misereatur nostri, et benedicat nobis; illuminet vultum suum super nos,
et misereatur nostri:
ut cognascamus in terra viam tuam, in omnibus gentibus salutare tuum.
Confiteantur tibi populi, Deus: confiteantur tibi populi omnes.

About Deus misereatur in E-Flat
Thomas Sanders Dupuis’s Deus misereatur in E-Flat offers a noble setting of Psalm 67, a prayer for God’s mercy and blessing. This sacred work, suitable for services or concerts, is typically sung as part of the Evening Canticles, a traditional part of Evensong. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic textures as the choir invokes God’s light and guidance upon all nations.
The text, primarily in Latin with some English, expresses a universal desire for divine favour and justice. Dupuis’s musical response amplifies the text’s plea for recognition of God’s ways and celebrates the joy and righteousness that come from divine governance. It calls for a confident and uplifting performance, suitable for a choir seeking to present a well-crafted and spiritually resonant anthem.
