Bendita... a divina luz — Lyrics
Bendita e louvada seja,
No céu a divina luz,
E nós também cá na terra,
Louvemos a santa cruz,
Os anjos no céu contentes,
louvando estão a Jesus,
Cantemos também na terra,
Louvores à santa cruz.
Aqui bem estamos vendo,
Brilhar uma clara luz,
É que estão do céu caindo,
Reflexos da santa cruz.
Já santa doutrina temos,
Para nossa guia e luz,

About Bendita... a divina luz
This traditional Portuguese sacred song, Bendita... a divina luz, is a unison piece suitable for a solemn occasion or a Marian devotion. The text expresses deep reverence for the divine light and the holy cross, invoking praise to Jesus and the cross. It speaks of the angelic host in heaven, the reflection of the cross's light on earth, and the divine doctrine written upon it. The lyrics also recall the sacrifice of Jesus on Calvary, presenting the cross as a powerful symbol of protection against peril and a victorious banner. Ultimately, the song is a prayer for deliverance from hell through the honor of the holy cross, concluding with an amen to Jesus.
