Haec Tibi dona pura by Hans Leo Hassler — Lyrics
1. Herzlich thut mich verlangen
nach einem selgen End;
weil ich hie bin umfangen
mit Trübsal und Elend.
Ich hab Lust abzuscheiden
von dieser argen Welt;
sehn mich noch ewgen Freuden:
o Jesu, komm nur bald.
2. Du hast mich ja erlöset
von Sünd, Tod, Teufel Höll;
es hat dein Blut gekostet,
drauf ich mein Hoffnung stell.

About Haec Tibi dona pura
Hans Leo Hassler's Haec Tibi dona pura is a sacred motet for SATB choir, drawing text from both German and Latin. It is suitable for settings reflecting on the Eucharist and the longing for spiritual fulfillment. The German text expresses a deep yearning for release from worldly suffering and a fervent desire for heavenly reunion with Jesus. It speaks of redemption through Christ's sacrifice, overcoming the fear of death and hell by placing faith in him. The Latin text, while not quoted here, likely complements this theme of devotion and spiritual offering. This piece offers a profound meditation on faith, mortality, and the promise of eternal joy, making it a reflective choice for choir directors seeking music with theological depth.
