Iesu quadragenariae by Arnold von Bruck — Lyrics
Iesu quadragenáriae
dicátor abstinéntiae,
qui ob salútem méntium
præcéperas ieiúnium,
Tuo paradyso redderes
servata parsimonia
quos inde castrimargie
huc illecebris detulit
Adésto nunc Ecclésiae,
adésto pæniténtiae,
qua supplicámus cérnui,
peccáta nostra dílui.

About Iesu quadragenariae
The composer Arnold von Bruck presents Iesu quadragenariae, a sacred hymn for SATB choir. The Latin text reflects on Christ's forty days of fasting in the wilderness and the penitential season of Lent. It is a prayer for God's grace to cleanse the soul from past sins and protect against future ones, so that the faithful may worthily reach the joys of Easter. The hymn invokes the Trinity, asking the Father, through the Son and the Holy Spirit, to grant this mercy. This is a profound and devotional setting, suitable for services during Lent or other penitential occasions.
