"This text is of course generally known from the motet by <b>Josquin Des Prez</b> (ca 1450-1521). However, I cannot find where this text comes from. It seems to be a eulogy to God the Lord. Possibly it is a prayer, which also refers to the worship of Christ. Josquin divides the text into two parts: prima pars and seconda pars. The said prayer is the first part. The first stanza of the second part has a very different character, and also a familiar origin. It comes from a French chanson from the Middle Ages, d'un aultre amer (in modern French d'un autre aimer). This song was set for choir a generation earlier by Johannes Ockeghem (ca 1410-1497)."

¶Lyrics / Text

Tu solus, qui facis mirabilia, Tu solus Creator, qui creasti nos, Tu solus Redemptor, qui redemisti nos sanguine tuo pretiossisimo. Ad te solum confugimus, in te solum confidimus, Nec alium adoramus, Jesu Christe. Ad te preces effundimus, Exaudi quod supplicamus, et concede quod petimus, Rex benigne. D’ung aultre amer, Nobis esset fallacia: D’ung aultre amer, Magna esset stultitia et peccatum. Audi nostra suspiria, Reple nos tua gratia, O res regum, Ut ad tua servitia sistamus cum laetitia in aeternum.
