Iesù nel tuo partire by Anonymous — Lyrics
Iesù, nel tuo partire
io mi sento morire.
Se tu m'amassi sposa
tutta lieta e gioiosa,

Su nel seggio regale,
con occhio spiritale,

da raggi ardenti e vivi,
come da sole stella,
sarai lucente e bella.

About Iesù nel tuo partire
The text of this sacred laude expresses a profound longing for Christ, sung from the perspective of a devotee who feels they are dying in His absence. The opening lines, "Jesus, in your departure I feel myself dying," immediately establish a tone of sorrow and intense spiritual yearning. The lyrics then shift to describe the joy and radiant beauty the soul will experience when reunited with Christ in His heavenly kingdom, bathed in divine light. This anonymous Italian piece is set for SAB choir, offering a direct and heartfelt plea for spiritual connection and the ultimate solace found in God's presence.
