Jesu Redemptor omnium by Grzegorz Gerwazy Gorczycki — Lyrics
1. Jesu, Redémptor ómnium,
Quem lucis ante originem,
Parem patérnæ glóriæ
Pater suprémus édidit.
2. Tu lumen, et splendor Patris,
Tu spes perénnis ómnium,
Inténde quas fundunt preces
Tui per orbem sérvuli.
3. Meménto, rerum Cónditor,
Nostri quod olim córporis,
Sacráta ab alvo Vírginis
Nascéndo, formam súmpseris.
4. Testátur hoc praesens dies,
Currens per anni circulum,
Quod solus e sinu Patris

About Jesu Redemptor omnium
The music unfolds with an immediate sense of reverence, the SATB voices weaving together to create a rich, devotional texture. This sacred motet, sung in Latin, sets a profound text addressing Jesus as the Redeemer of all. The composer's setting allows the words to resonate, reflecting on Christ's divine nature, his birth from the Virgin Mary, and his role as the saviour of the world. The music captures the joy and solemnity of the Nativity, culminating in praise for the incarnate Word. It is a powerful expression of faith, suitable for the liturgical season and offering a moving experience for both choir and listeners.
