Havre by Oliver Holden — Lyrics
Ipsi David. Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et omnia quae intra me sunt nomini sancto ejus.
Benedic, anima mea, Domino, et noli oblivisci omnes retributiones ejus.
Qui propitiatur omnibus iniquitatibus tuis; qui sanat omnes infirmitates tuas:
qui redimit de interitu vitam tuam; qui coronat te in misericordia et miserationibus:
qui replet in bonis desiderium tuum; renovabitur ut aquilae juventus tua:
faciens misericordias Dominus, et judicium omnibus injuriam patientibus.
Notas fecit vias suas Moysi; filiis Israël voluntates suas.
Miserator et misericors Dominus: longanimis, et multum misericors.
Non in perpetuum irascetur, neque in aeternum comminabitur.
Non secundum peccata nostra fecit nobis, neque secundum iniquitates nostras retribuit nobis.
Quoniam secundum altitudinem caeli a terra, corroboravit misericordiam suam
super timentes se;
quantum distat ortus ab occidente, longe fecit a nobis iniquitates nostras.

About Havre
Oliver Holden's Havre is a sacred work for SATB choir, featuring Latin and English text. The Latin portion draws from Psalm 103, a hymn of praise and thanksgiving, invoking blessings upon the Lord and recounting His mercies, forgiveness, and healing. The composer captures the devotional spirit of the text, allowing the words to guide the musical expression. This setting is well-suited for liturgical occasions where a profound reflection on divine benevolence is desired. The inclusion of English alongside the Latin offers accessibility, potentially serving a dual purpose for comprehension and congregational engagement within a choral setting.
