Beata viscera - Corsican chant by Anonymous — Lyrics
Beata viscera Mariae Virginis,
quae portaverunt aeterni Patris Filium; [Alleluia.]
et beata ubera, quæ lactaverunt Christum Dominum:
qui hodie pro salute mundi de Virgine nasci dignatus est.

About Beata viscera - Corsican chant
These profound words celebrate the Blessed Virgin Mary, focusing on her role as the vessel carrying the eternal Son of God. The text speaks of her blessed womb and her nurturing breasts, acknowledging the divine mystery of Christ’s birth for the salvation of the world. Set for TTB voices in Latin, this antiphon draws us into contemplation of the Nativity. The added verse, 'A holy day has dawned for us: come, nations, and adore the Lord,' broadens the scope to a universal call for adoration, while the communion verse, 'My heart has uttered a good word; I tell my works to the King,' offers a personal reflection on divine inspiration and praise.
