Dicit Dominus ego cogito by Heinrich Isaac — Lyrics
About Dicit Dominus ego cogito
Heinrich Isaac’s Dicit Dominus is a sacred motet for SATB choir, setting a text from the Book of Jeremiah. The words express God's comforting promise of peace and restoration to his people, assuring them that their prayers will be heard and their captivity brought to an end. The choir is invited to call upon God, who will answer and bring them home from all places. The text continues with a psalm verse, blessing the land and turning away the captivity of Jacob, followed by the Gloria Patri. This setting would serve well as an entrance song, conveying a message of divine reassurance and hope.
