Favor, gracia y pureza by José de Torres — Lyrics
Recitative
Favor, gracia,y pureza,
hombre admira en el aza,
del dios de amor, ofrenda la mas rara,
que obstenta su cariño, y su fineza,
feliz tu pecho empieza,
a renacer, gozando su eficacia,
su piedad, su favor, pureza, y gracia.
Aria
Ay fervores, que favores,
que os ofrecen los candores,
que ocultó el ara brillante.
Gloria excelsa para el mundo,
es el gozo sin segundo,
que nos elevó hoy amante.
Recitado
En vano la voz puede,
