Ad cenam agni providi by Anonymous — Lyrics
1. Ad cenam Agni providi,
stolis salutis candidi,
post transitum maris Rubri
Christo canamus principi.
2. Cuius corpus sanctissimum
in ara crucis torridum,
sed et cruorem roseum
gustando, Deo vivimus.
3. Protecti paschae vespero
a devastante angelo,
de Pharaonis aspero
sumus erepti imperio.
4. Iam pascha nostrum Christus est,
agnus occisus innocens;
sinceritatis azyma
qui carnem suam obtulit.

About Ad cenam agni providi
This well-known Latin hymn draws its text from the Easter season, celebrating Christ's victory over death and the redemption of mankind. The opening verses vividly recall the Israelites' passage through the Red Sea and the Paschal lamb, establishing Christ as the new Paschal sacrifice. The text moves to the Last Supper and the sacrifice on the cross, where through Christ's body and blood, believers gain eternal life. The SAT voicing offers a clear and direct presentation of this powerful eucharistic text, suitable for liturgical settings during Eastertide and beyond, reflecting on the profound mystery of salvation.
