Work comment

This choral work seems to be Gebrauchsmusik ('utility music'), i.e., most likely, it was composed during Höijer's time as organist at the Katarina kyrka [Katarina Church (Church of Catherine)] in Stockholm, and intended for use there

Libretto/text

Gud, Dig allena vare ära genom Jesum Christum.
Ja. för allt hvad Du oss gifvit i Din Son,
den högsta gåfvan lof och pris vi Dig hembäre.
Halleluja.
