Anima Christi by Franz Liszt — Lyrics
Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Iesu, exaudi me.
Intra tua vulnera absconde me,

About Anima Christi
Franz Liszt's setting of the Anima Christi prayer offers a profound and reflective musical experience, suitable for liturgical settings or contemplative occasions. This TTBB arrangement imbues the familiar Latin text with a rich, resonant sound, ideal for a male choir. The prayer itself is a plea for spiritual nourishment and protection, invoking the body, blood, and passion of Christ. Liszt's music seeks to convey the deep personal devotion and earnest hope expressed in the words, as the singer asks to be sanctified, saved, and hidden within Christ's wounds, ultimately praying to be called to eternal praise.
