Da bendita cruz by José Sebastião Netto — Lyrics
Da bendita cruz,
Ao lenho sagrado,
Em que o bom Jesus,
Foi por nós pregado.
Cristãos cantemos,
Em altas vozes:
"Viva Jesus!
Viva sua cruz!"
Todos tributemos,
Respeito profundo,

About Da bendita cruz
This unison setting of a Portuguese devotional song is ideal for services during Lent or Holy Week, or at any time when reflecting on the sacrifice of Christ. The text, opening with a contemplation of the blessed cross and the sacred wood, calls for Christians to sing out praises for Jesus and his cross. It speaks of the redemption of the world found in this act. The music would suit a solemn occasion, perhaps during a period of reflection or prayer. The final stanza offers a prayer for heavenly glory, making it a fitting conclusion to a devotional moment.
