Graduale Benedictus by Johannes Nepomuk Skraup — Lyrics
Benedictus es, Domine,
qui intueris abyssos,
et sedes super Cherubim.
Benedictus es, Domine,
in firmamento coeli,
et laudabilis in saecula.

About Graduale Benedictus
Johannes Nepomuk Skraup composed this sacred motet for SATB choir. Sung in Latin, the text is a prayer of praise, beginning with a blessing upon God who looks into the abyss and sits upon the Cherubim. It continues to bless God in the firmament of heaven, worthy of praise forever, and is also a blessing of the God of our fathers, praised through the ages. The composer's setting would have been for liturgical use. This is a devotional work reflecting the profound reverence found in sacred music traditions.
