Cor Jesu by Franciszek Walczyński — Lyrics
Cor Jesu, melle dúlcius,
Cor sole puro púrius,
Verbi Dei sacrárium,
Opum Dei compéndium.
His casta spirant lília,
Quibus nitéscunt vírgines,
Hic unde spléndent Mártyres,

About Cor Jesu
The Latin text of Cor Jesu is a fervent hymn to the heart of Jesus, portraying it as sweeter than honey, purer than the sun, and a sanctuary of the Word of God. The verses describe how the heart of Jesus is the source of purity for virgins, the radiance of martyrs, and the origin of Christ's own royal glory. This sacred setting is composed for TTBB voices, offering a rich and resonant sound to convey the profound devotion expressed in the lyrics. Franciszek Walczyński's setting aims to lift the spirit through its solemn and uplifting musical language, suitable for devotional services.
