Ad regias by Anonymous — Lyrics
1. Ad regias Agni dapes,
Stolis amicti candidis,
Post transitum Maris rubri,
Christo canamus Principi:
2. Divina cujus caritas
Sacrum propinat sanguinem,
Almique membra corporis
Amor sacerdos immolat.

About Ad regias
The composer of this Latin hymn is unknown. Its setting for SATB choir begins with a bright and joyful evocation of the celestial banquet, with voices weaving together to create a sense of reverence. The text, drawing on imagery from the Old and New Testaments, speaks of Christ's sacrificial love, the Passover, and the Red Sea crossing, culminating in praise to the Trinity. The music reflects this journey from deliverance to eternal glory, with moments of both solemnity and exultation. This sacred music would be a fitting addition to a service or concert, offering a rich musical and theological experience.
