Dievs, Tu esi (God of mercy) by Giovanni Battista Pergolesi| (harm.) — Lyrics
1. Dievs, Tu esi žēlīgs, līdzjūtīgs, pievērs skatu man savu, Kungs;
ļauj par Tēvu atkal Tevi saukt, savam bērnam ļauj atgriezties.
R.: Jēzu, apžēlojies, Kungs mans, neliec lūgties man par velti:
es no visiem grēkiem atsakos, sekot nevēlos vairs es tiem.
2. Esmu pelnījis es nelaimi, mana alga ir mūžīgs posts,
jo par grēkiem maniem pienāktos taisnīgs sods elles mokas ciest.
R.

About Dievs, Tu esi (God of mercy)
Giovanni Battista Pergolesi's sacred work, Dievs, Tu esi, is presented here for SATB choir. The text, sung in Latvian, is a plea for mercy and forgiveness from God. It expresses a deep sense of repentance and humility, acknowledging personal sinfulness and the deserved punishment. The lyrics then turn to the redemptive sacrifice of Christ on the cross, finding hope and salvation through His suffering. The choir is asked to implore Jesus for mercy, renouncing past sins and seeking to follow a righteous path. This moving devotional text is set in a traditional sacred style.
