Cognoscam te Domine by Amadio Freddi — Lyrics
Cognoscam te, Domine cognitor meus;
cognoscam te virtus animae meae.
Ostende te mihi, consolator meus;
videam te lumen oculorum meorum.
Veni gaudium Spiritus mei
videam te Laetitiam coris mei
diligam te vita animae meae

About Cognoscam te Domine
Amadio Freddi was a composer of sacred music active in Italy during the late Renaissance. This motet, Cognoscam te Domine, is written for solo voice, with the text in Latin. The words are a fervent prayer for spiritual knowledge and union with God. The singer implores God to reveal Himself, to become the light of their eyes, the joy of their heart, and the life of their soul. The text expresses a deep desire to know, love, embrace, and possess God eternally, finding in Him the ultimate beatitude and sweetest joy. This intimate supplication would suit a moment of reflection or devotion.
