Hosanna by Walter Janes — 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 Hosanna
Walter Janes's Hosanna is a sacred choral work for SATB choir. The text, presented in both Latin and English, is drawn from Psalm 118, a psalm of thanksgiving and praise, often associated with the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. The composer sets the exclamations of "Hosanna" and "Alleluia" with appropriate fervour, reflecting the joyous and triumphant nature of the text. The piece offers a powerful setting of scripture, suitable for liturgical use or concert programming.
