The text of the song "Tebe Poem" (To Thee We Sing) is inspired by a fragment of the last book of the New Testament, the Apocalypse of St. John (Rev 11:17), which by its name is sometimes mistaken for something catastrophic and terrifying. Meanwhile, this book is optimistic in many respects, as are the words used in the song by Aleksander Łabinski, in which the performers address God directly, dedicating songs, blessing and prayers to Him, and showing their gratitude. The slow pace of the piece enables precision in expressing intentions, giving them a pleading character. In the church schema of rituals set out in the Divine Liturgy of St. John the Golden-Mouthed, the words "Tebe Poem" appear during the part called Anaphora as a thanksgiving hymn to the Eucharistic Canon. The work by Łabinski is intended for a mixed choir with a traditional arrangement of voices. The composer used the original liturgical text, expanding it through the use of repetitions.

Aleksander Łabinski is a 20th-century composer and conductor. After World War II, he spent most of his life in Paris and led the church choir.

the text comes from the doctoral dissertation by dr hab. Mariusz Mróz
