"The choice of text is very peculiar. The first part of the text is taken from the words of the Queen of Shaba to Solomon, and it is a praising a ruler, whereas the text taken from the story of the prodigal son asks for a job, just as the Sextus which only sings the text ''Fac me sicut unum ex mercenariis tuis.'' It is possible that Rore composed this motet to a patron (a ruler) by whom he hoped to find employment."

¶Lyrics / Text

Nunc cognovi, Domine, quia verus est sermo, quem audivi in terra mea super sermonibus tuis, et non credebam narrantibus mihi, donec ipse veni, et vidi oculis meis, et vidi oculis meis et probavi quod media pars mihi nuntiata non fuerit: et tu, Domine, fac me sicut unum ex mercenariis tuis. Beati servi tui, qui hic stant coram te semper, et experiuntur largitatem tuam. Sit Dominus Deus tuus benedictus, qui posuit te super thronum patris tui, ut faceres iudicium et iustitiam; et tu, Domine, fac me sicut unum ex mercenariis tuis.
