Ad cenam Agni by Stanislav Surin — Lyrics
1. Ad cenam Agni providi,
stolis salutis candidi,
post transitum maris Rubri
Christo canamus principi.
2. Cuius corpus sanctissimum
in ara crucis torridum,
sed et cruorem roseum
gustando, Deo vivimus.
3. Protecti paschae vespero
a devastante angelo,
de Pharaonis aspero
sumus erepti imperio.
4. Iam pascha nostrum Christus est,
agnus occisus innocens;
sinceritatis azyma
qui carnem suam obtulit.

About Ad cenam Agni
Stanislav Surin sets a significant Latin hymn text in this unison setting. Ad cenam Agni, often translated as To the Lamb's high feast, we sing, is a medieval eucharistic hymn. The text reflects on the Paschal mystery, linking Christ's sacrifice and resurrection to the Passover. It speaks of being clothed in white, passing through the Red Sea, and tasting Christ's body and blood, allowing us to live for God. The hymn calls Christ our Passover, the sinless lamb sacrificed, and acknowledges him as the true host who breaks the chains of hell and redeems his captive people. This sacred piece offers a profound meditation on the Eucharist and the triumph of Christ's resurrection.
