Gratia sola Dei by Orlando di Lasso — Lyrics
‘’’Gratia sola Dei’’’ pie in omnibus omnia adimplet virtute aeterna caelesti et amore creatis
in nostris almus vigeat quoque cordibus ardor
lege sacra statuit cunctisque amor imperet unus
hinc reduces qui nos caelo asserat atque beatos efficiat virtus aequa
almo in amore recumbit.
Legitimo ergo nihil natura invenit amore majus,
connubii unde ferax fit copula fidi

About Gratia sola Dei
Orlando di Lasso’s Gratia sola Dei is a majestic SSATTB motet for occasions of deep spiritual reflection. The Latin text speaks of God’s sole grace filling all things with eternal virtue and celestial love. It urges this ardour to flourish in our hearts, bound by sacred law, so that one love may command all. The composer’s skill in weaving together these five voice parts creates a rich and resonant sound, perfectly suited to conveying the text’s message of divine love and its power to lead us to beatitude. This motet offers a profound musical experience, ideal for moments of solemnity and contemplative worship.
