Edition notes: Although the source is not written for double choir this score's layout is made for two separate choirs. This piece is written for a choir that usually perfoms from the choir stalls and therefore has a double choir line-up. Many sections of this motet also suggest a double choir performance.

Original text and translations

Latin text Vox dicentis: Clama: et dixi: Quid clamabo? Omnis caro foenum, et omnis gloria eius quasi flos agri. Vere foenum est populus. Exsiccatum est foenum, et cecidit flos: verbum autem Domini nostri manet in aeternum. Super montem excelsum ascende tu, qui evangelizas Sion: exalta in fortitudine vocem tuam, qui evangelizas Jerusalem: exalta, noli timere. Dic civitatibus Judae: Ecce Deus vester. Ecce Dominus Deus in fortitudine veniet, et brachium eius dominabitur: ecce merces eius cum eo, et opus illius coram illo. Sicut pastor gregem suum pascet, in brachio suo congregabit agnos, et in sinu suo levabit, foetas ipse portabit.

English translation A voice says, "Cry!" And I said, "What shall I cry?" All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is as the flower of the field. Truly the people is grass. The grass withers, and the flower fades; but the word of our Lord stands forever. Get you up to a high mountain, O herald of good tidings to Zion; lift up your voice with strength, O herald of good tidings to Jerusalem: lift it up, fear not; Say unto the cities of Judah: "Behold your God!" Behold, the Lord God comes with might, and His arm rules for Him; Behold, His reward is with Him, and His recompense before Him. He shall feed His flock like a shepherd, and shall gather the lambs in His arm, and gently lead those that are with young.
