Anima Christi by Anonymous — Lyrics
Anima Christi, sanctifica me.
Corpus Christi, salva me.
Sanguis Christi, inebria me.
Aqua lateris Christi, lava me.
Passio Christi, conforta me.
O bone Iesu, exaudi me.
Intra tua vulnera absconde me,

About Anima Christi
This motet setting of the Anima Christi prayer is by an anonymous composer, likely from the tradition of sacred choral music. The text is a profound meditation on the Passion of Christ, with each line a petition for spiritual nourishment and protection. The SATB voicing allows for rich harmonic expression, drawing the listener into the devotional intensity of the Latin text. The composer masterfully uses the voices to convey the plea for sanctification, salvation, and deliverance, culminating in a fervent prayer to be united with Christ and his saints for eternity. This work offers a deeply moving spiritual experience for both choir and congregation.
