Him that approaches in God's name by Isaac Tucker — Lyrics
Alleluja. Confitemini Domino, quoniam bonus, quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus.
Dicat nunc Israël: Quoniam bonus, quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus.
Dicat nunc domus Aaron: Quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus.
Dicant nunc qui timent Dominum: Quoniam in saeculum misericordia ejus.
De tribulatione invocavi Dominum, et exaudivit me in latitudine Dominus.
Dominus mihi adjutor; non timebo quid faciat mihi homo.
Dominus mihi adjutor, et ego despiciam inimicos meos.
Bonum est confidere in Domino, quam confidere in homine.
Bonum est sperare in Domino, quam sperare in principibus.
Omnes gentes circuierunt me, et in nomine Domini, quia ultus sum in eos.
Circumdantes circumdederunt me, et in nomine Domini,
quia ultus sum in eos.
Circumdederunt me sicut apes, et exarserunt sicut ignis in spinis:
et in nomine Domini, quia ultus sum in eos.
Impulsus eversus sum, ut caderem, et Dominus suscepit me.
Fortitudo mea et laus mea Dominus, et factus est mihi in salutem.
Vox exsultationis et salutis in tabernaculis justorum.
Dextera Domini fecit virtutem;

About Him that approaches in God's name
Isaac Tucker's Him that approaches in God's name is a sacred setting for SATB choir. Its text combines Latin and English, drawing from Psalm 118 with a focus on God's everlasting mercy. The choir is called upon to declare this goodness, with verses reflecting on trust in the Lord over human endeavors and the assurance of God's help even in times of trouble. The music effectively conveys the jubilant and steadfast nature of the text, making it a powerful anthem of faith and reliance on divine providence. This hymn-like composition offers a rich and resonant experience for both choir and congregation.
