Ad coenam agni I by André Vierendeels — 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 coenam agni I
This setting of the ancient Latin hymn Ad coenam agni providi is for SATB choir. The text, a well-known Eucharistic hymn, reflects on the Passover theme of Christ as the sacrificial lamb. It draws parallels between the Israelites' liberation from Egypt and our spiritual redemption through Christ's sacrifice and resurrection. The choir moves through themes of Christ's passion, the cleansing power of his blood, and the victory over death, culminating in the joy of Easter and new life in grace. André Vierendeels's composition offers a thoughtful musical interpretation of this rich theological and liturgical text, suitable for sacred services.
