Jesu corona Virginum by Juan Bautista Comes — Lyrics
Jesu corona virginum,
quem mater illa concipit
quæ sola virgo parturit,
hæc vota clemens accipe.
Qui pascis inter lilia,
septus choreis virginum,
sponsus decorus gloria, [alt. sponsas decorans]
sponsisque reddens præmia.
Quocumque pergis [tendis], virgines
sequuntur, atque laudibus

About Jesu corona Virginum
Written for a mixed choir, this setting of Jesu corona Virginum is a sacred Latin text likely intended for Marian devotion. Its devotional character suits occasions when the choir might celebrate the Virgin Mary. The composer, Juan Bautista Comes, crafts a piece for SSAT and SATB voices, reflecting the solemnity and beauty of the words. The text itself is a prayer to Christ, the crown of virgins, acknowledging his divine nature and asking for spiritual protection against worldly corruption. It petitions Christ, who is sung of as a bridegroom attended by virgins, to grant purity and closeness to God. The hymn concludes with a doxology praising the Trinity.
