Genoe by Ephraim Reed — Lyrics
In finem. Canticum psalmi resurrectionis. Jubilate Deo, omnis terra;
psalmum dicite nomini ejus; date gloriam laudi ejus.
Dicite Deo: Quam terribilia sunt opera tua, Domine! in multitudine virtutis tuae
mentientur tibi inimici tui.
Omnis terra adoret te, et psallat tibi; psalmum dicat nomini tuo.
Venite, et videte opera Dei: terribilis in consiliis super filios
hominum.
Qui convertit mare in aridam; in flumine pertransibunt pede: ibi laetabimur
in ipso.
Qui dominatur in virtute sua in aeternum; oculi ejus super gentes respiciunt: qui exasperant non exaltentur in semetipsis.
Benedicite, gentes, Deum nostrum, et auditam facite vocem laudis ejus:
qui posuit animam meam ad vitam, et non dedit in commotionem pedes meos.

About Genoe
This striking setting of Psalm 66, verses 1-8, originally known as Jubilate Deo, for SATB choir and organ draws on the power and majesty of the Latin text. It then moves into an English translation, with the choir proclaiming the awesome power of God's works and praising Him for His dominion over all creation. The music reflects the varied moods of the text, from triumphant acclamation to quiet awe. Suitable for a large congregation or festival occasion, its rich harmonies and dynamic contrasts make it a rewarding choice for a choir seeking a substantial sacred work.
