Iesu diletto sposo (Lauda) by Anonymous — Lyrics
Iesu diletto sposo
se sol pensando a te trovo riposo.
Non voglio altri contenti
recan sempre amari pentimenti.
Tu sei ogni mio bene,
in te solo ho riposto la mia spene,
ne cercarò gia mai piacer
che si converta in piant’e in guai.
La brama ch’al mio core

About Iesu diletto sposo (Lauda)
This sacred Italian song, likely from a devotional tradition, is set for a three-part SAB choir. The text expresses a deep, personal devotion to Jesus, referred to as the 'beloved spouse.' The singer finds solace and rest only in thoughts of Jesus, rejecting worldly pleasures which bring only regret. The lyrics proclaim Jesus as the sole source of goodness and hope, with a fervent desire to eternally possess and be bound to Him. This spiritual longing is central, as the soul finds no peace in created things but only in divine love. The SAB voicing allows for rich harmonies to underscore the intimate and heartfelt sentiments of the text.
