Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile by Jacob Regnart — Lyrics
Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile, ecce nunc dies salutis. In his ergo exhibeamus nos sicut Dei ministros in multa patientia, in vigiliis, in jejuniis, in caritate non ficta.
Convertimini ad me in toto corde vestro, in jejuniis, et in fletu, et in planctu, dicit Dominus.
About Ecce nunc tempus acceptabile
This SATTB motet by Jacob Regnart is ideal for Lent. The Latin text, drawn from scripture, calls for repentance and self-discipline during this season of spiritual reflection. It urges singers and listeners alike to present themselves as servants of God, embodying patience, vigils, fasting, and genuine charity. The composer's setting masterfully conveys the urgency and solemnity of the message, making it a powerful choice for liturgical services or sacred concerts during the penitential season.
