Adoro Te devote by Mariano Garau — Lyrics
1. [https://www.corpusthomisticum.org/pat.html Adoro te devote], latens Deitas(/veritas),
quae sub his figuris vere latitas:
tibi se cor meum totum subjicit,
quia te contemplans totum deficit.
2. Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur,
sed auditu solo tuto creditur;
credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius:
nil hoc verbo Veritatis verius.
3. In cruce latebat sola Deitas,
at hic latet simul et humanitas:
ambo tamen credens atque confitens,
peto quod petivit latro poenitens.
4. Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor:
Deum tamen meum te confiteor:
fac me tibi semper magis credere,
in te spem habere, te diligere.

About Adoro Te devote
Mariano Garau's Adoro Te Devote sets a powerful Latin text expressing deep devotion to the Eucharist. The hymn's verses explore the mystery of Christ's presence, acknowledging how sight and touch can be deceived while faith, through hearing God's word, finds certainty. It reflects on the dual nature of Christ, both divine and human, present in the sacrament, and the singer's hope for increased faith, trust, and love. This setting is arranged for SAB, ATB, and TTB choirs, making it adaptable for various vocal ensembles seeking to explore this profound Eucharistic hymn.
