In tenebris a 5 by Leonhard Lechner — Lyrics
In tenebris nostrae et densa caligine mentis,
cum nihil est toto pectore consilii,
turbati erigimus, Deus, ad te lumina cordis

About In tenebris a 5
In tenebris a 5 is a sacred motet by Leonhard Lechner, written for a five-part choir (AATTB) singing in Latin. The text opens with a plea for divine guidance in times of confusion and darkness, acknowledging the heart's lack of counsel and lifting its gaze towards God for aid. The choir's prayer appeals to the "best Father" to direct their actions and ensure all their work serves His praise. This somber reflection on human need and reliance on God makes it suitable for periods of penitence or contemplation within the church's year.
