Deus tuorum militum by Jacobus Vaet — Lyrics
1. Deus, tuorum militum
sors et corona, præmium,
laudes canentes martyris
absolve nexu criminis.
2. Hic (Hæc) nempe mundi gaudia
et blandimenta noxia
caduca rite deputans,
pervenit ad cælestia.
3. Pœnas cucurrit fortiter
et sustulit viriliter;
pro te refundens sanguinem,
æterna dona possidet.

About Deus tuorum militum
This setting of the Marian antiphon Deus tuorum militum for SATTB voices is by Jacobus Vaet. The Latin text is a hymn to God in praise of His soldiers, the martyrs, who have renounced worldly pleasures and endured suffering for their faith, ultimately receiving eternal rewards. The choir's singing offers praise to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, asking for forgiveness of sins and the fellowship of the martyrs. This powerful work is ideal for services commemorating saints or martyrs, or for occasions when a profound expression of faith and perseverance is desired. Its rich texture and solemn character offer a deeply moving experience for both performers and listeners.
