Chi vuol seguir la guerra (lauda) a3 by Anonymous — Lyrics
Chi vuol seguir la guerra,
per far del Ciel'acquisto
sù levisi da terra,
et venga à farsi cavallier di Christo.
Chi non ha cuor non vada,
chi teme d'arc'ò fiomba,
ritornisi per strada,
che poi non fugga al primo suon di tromba.
Tu dolce mio Signore,
perch'io non fussi vinto,

About Chi vuol seguir la guerra (lauda) a3
This anonymous Italian lauda, for treble, treble and tenor voices, would be suitable for a Lenten or devotional setting. The text is a powerful call to Christian service, using the metaphor of warfare. It urges listeners to become 'knights of Christ', prepared to face hardship and suffering for their faith, contrasting the pains Christ endured with the singer's own fear of trivial worldly matters. The insistent refrain, 'I want to take up my shield again today, and never lay it down again', speaks of renewed commitment and steadfastness in the face of spiritual challenges.
