Ecce Quomodo Moritur Justus

Jacob Handl

April 8, 2023 • Adult, Teen & Chamber Choirs

Text: from Isaiah 57:1-2 

Ecce quomodo moritur justus 

et nemo percipit corde. 

Viri justi tolluntur 

et nemo considerat. 

A facie iniquitatis sublatus est justus 

et erit in pace memoria eius: 

In pace factus est locus ejus 

et in Sion habitatio ejus. 

Et erit in pace memoria ejus. 


Behold how the righteous man dies 

And no one understands. 

Righteous men are taken away 

And no one considers: 

The righteous man has been taken away from present iniquity 

And his memory shall be in peace. 

In peace is his place 

And in Sion is his homestead. 

And his memory shall be in peace.
