Freedom by Alexander Gillet — Lyrics
Laus cantici ipsi David, in die ante sabbatum, quando fundata est terra.
Dominus regnavit, decorem indutus est:
indutus est Dominus fortitudinem, et praecinxit se.
Etenim firmavit orbem terrae, qui non commovebitur.
Parata sedes tua ex tunc; a saeculo tu es.

About Freedom
This SATB setting of Alexander Gillet's Freedom opens with a triumphant declaration of God's reign and power, drawing on biblical texts that celebrate the steadfastness of creation and the sanctity of God's house. The Latin phrases, proclaiming 'The Lord has reigned, he is clothed with strength,' evoke a powerful image of divine authority and cosmic order. The text transitions to an English translation of these same verses, allowing for a clear understanding of the message for a wider audience. This sacred hymn is suitable for liturgical settings, offering a musically uplifting and theologically rich experience for the choir and congregation alike.
