Another little gem attributed to the great Renaissance master G. P. Palestrina with a harmonized "Jesu dulcis memoria" alternatim verses. Beautifully engraved and ready sing for Feast of the Holy Name or for Communion of any general feast.
Thank you for supporting my work!
Tua Jesu Dilectio | Palestrina | TTB a cappella 2-4'
1. Jesus, your love,
pleasing refreshment for the mind,
fills without distaste,
giving hunger to desire.
2. Oh my beloved,
hope of my sighing souls,
how the pious tears of my soul
and the glamor of my mind seeks you.
3. Those who taste you hunger,
those who drink still thirst,
they are unable to wish (for anything)
except Jesus, whom they sense.
4. Jesus, flower of the virgin mother,
loved of our sweetness,
praise to you, honor of the deity,
kingdom of blessing.
