Motet Translations
Heinrich Schütz: "O bone, o dulcis,” SWV 53-54 - Cantiones Sacrae
Bernard of Clairvaux(?)
| O bone, o dulcis, o benigne Jesu, te deprecor per illum tuum sanguinem pretiosum, quem pro nobis miseris effundere dignatus es in ara crucis: ut abjicias omnes iniquitates meas. Et ne despicias humiliter te petentem, et hoc nomen tuum sanctissimum: JESUS invocantem. |
O good, o sweet, o kind Jesus, I beseech You, by that Your precious blood, Which for us wretches You deigned to shed upon the altar of the Cross; That You drive away all of my iniquitiy. And that You do not despise the humble one who prays to You, and calls You by this Your most blessed name: JESUS. |
