Ego sum panis vivus by Francesco Lupino — Lyrics
Ego sum panis vitae.
Patres vestri manducaverunt manna in deserto, et mortui sunt.
Hic est panis de coelo descendens: si quis ex ipso manducaverit, non morietur.
Ego sum panis vivus, qui de cælo descendi.

About Ego sum panis vivus
These powerful words, drawn from the Gospel of John, speak of Christ as the living bread descended from heaven. Francesco Lupino sets this profound text in a sacred motet for SATB choir. The Latin lyrics explore the sustenance offered by this divine nourishment, promising eternal life to those who partake. The composer's setting aims to convey the solemnity and spiritual depth of the message, offering a contemplative reflection on faith and salvation. This piece would be a significant addition to a service or concert program seeking music of spiritual weight and devotional intensity.
