Ad coenam Agni providi by Johann Stadlmayr — 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 providi
This four-part setting in Latin of Ad coenam Agni providi offers a solemn reflection on the Eucharist. Its text, dating from the medieval period, draws rich parallels between the Old Testament Passover and the sacrifice of Christ. The hymn invites singers and listeners to contemplate the Paschal Lamb, whose body and blood, received in communion, grant eternal life. It rejoices in Christ's victory over death and hell, celebrating the liberation of God's people and the promise of paradise. This piece is suitable for services during the Easter season, particularly for Mass or Divine Office, and for Eucharistic devotion. The SATB voicing allows for a full, resonant presentation of the sacred text.
