Deus de amor by José Alves — Lyrics
Deus de amor, nós te adoramos neste sacramento,
Corpo e Sangue que fizeste nosso alimento,
És o Deus escondido, vivo e vencedor,
A teus pés depositamos todo o nosso amor.
Meus pecados redimiste sob a tua cruz,
Com teu Corpo e com teu Sangue, ó Senhor Jesus.
Sobre os nossos altares, Vítima sem par,
Teu divino sacrifício queres renovar.
No Calvário se escondia tua divindade,
Mas aqui também se escode tua humildade.

About Deus de amor
This is a unison setting of a devotional Portuguese text, expressing profound adoration of Christ in the sacrament. The words reflect on Christ's sacrifice, his hidden presence in the Eucharist, and the longing for salvation, referencing biblical moments like the good thief's plea and Thomas's doubt. The hymn-like nature of the text invites deep personal faith and a focus on the mystery of divine love made manifest. It is a sacred piece suitable for congregational singing or a choir seeking to convey heartfelt devotion. The simple, direct language makes its spiritual message accessible and moving.
