A el abismo de gracia by José de Torres — Lyrics
Estribillo
A el abismo de gracia, a el centro de dulzura, me guía de esa antorcha la eficacia, en cuya llama pura, todo premio y fineza se asegura.
Aria
Ya puedo alentar a tanto favor, guíando su albor mi pecho a su altar. Seguir logré fino aliento postrado el norte divino, que cifra al señor en luz singular le den a mi amor.
Recitative
El conseguir espere, mortal que al mundo muere, ventura la mas alta, que con el serafin a ser le exalta.

About A el abismo de gracia
This sacred cantata for solo soprano, A el abismo de gracia, by José de Torres, explores profound spiritual themes. The text, in Spanish, moves from an initial invitation to a 'center of sweetness' guided by a 'pure flame' to a more personal reflection on divine favor and ultimate salvation. The music guides the listener through contrasting moods, from moments of exultation and fervent adoration to introspective recitative passages that ponder mortal existence and the nature of divine love. The work culminates in a powerful exhortation for the mortal to embrace both suffering and love as paths to spiritual fulfillment, urging a complete surrender to the divine.
