Ecce sacerdos magnus by Johann Baptist Molitor — Lyrics
Ecce sacerdos magnus, qui in diebus suis placuit Deo.
Ideo jurejurando fecit illum Dominus crescere in plebem suam.
Benedictionem omnium gentium dedit illi
et testamentum suum confirmavit super caput ejus.

About Ecce sacerdos magnus
The text of Ecce sacerdos magnus proclaims a great high priest who pleased God in his days, and by divine promise grew in his people's favour. The blessing of all nations was bestowed upon him, and his covenant confirmed. Molitor sets this solemn Latin text for SATB choir. The music is appropriate for liturgical use, reflecting the sacred nature of the words which also include the Lesser Doxology.
