Cor Jesu, melle dulcius — 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, melle dulcius
This setting of Cor Jesu, melle dulcius is attributed to a traditional composer. The Latin text addresses the heart of Jesus, describing it as sweeter than honey, purer than the sun, and a sanctuary of the Word of God. It speaks of the lilies of purity that shine through virgins, the source of martyrs' radiance, and the blush of purity in the Church. The piece is for TTB choir and falls into the sacred motet genre. The lyrics praise the virtues associated with the heart of Jesus, highlighting its role as a guardian and companion to innocence.
