Ad coenam Agni providi II by André Vierendeels — 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 coenam Agni providi II
André Vierendeels’ setting of the Latin hymn Ad coenam Agni providi is for TTBB choir. The text is a powerful Easter hymn, celebrating the Paschal Lamb and Christ’s victory over death. The opening verses speak of preparing for the Lamb’s feast, clad in white, and of tasting Christ’s body and blood, through which we live. The music sets this ancient text with appropriate solemnity and a sense of joyous praise, a fitting anthem for the Easter season. The hymn’s themes of liberation from bondage and the resurrection are vividly conveyed, offering a profound reflection on the meaning of Easter.
