Bendito seja o santuário — Lyrics
Bendito seja o santuário,
em que achei consolação!
Meu bom Jesus, o teu sacrário,
a paz me trouxe ao coração.
Ó meu Jesus quanto perigo,
quando penei longe de ti.
Mas quando em ti busquei abrigo,
minha aflição já não senti.
Que dores fundas padecia,
longe de ti, meu bom pastor!
Hoje me dá pura alegria,
Teu sacramento só de amor.
Só encontrei dores, engano,
buscando outrora o vão prazer.
Jamais se viu gozo mundano,
um coração satisfazer.

About Bendito seja o santuário
This unison setting of a Portuguese sacred song offers a simple yet profound expression of faith and devotion. The melody, likely traditional, carries the lyrical text with warmth and sincerity. The Portuguese lyrics speak of finding solace and peace within the sanctuary and the sacred mysteries, contrasting past suffering and loneliness with the joy and contentment found in divine love and the sacraments. It is a personal testament to spiritual comfort and the fulfillment found in connection with the divine. This piece would be well-suited for services or devotional gatherings where a heartfelt message of spiritual refuge is desired.
