Jesu corona virginum by Jacobus Vaet — 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
Sung as a hymn, this devotional Latin text is addressed to Christ as the 'crown of virgins'. The composer Jacobus Vaet sets this prayer for two sopranos and basses (SB). The lyrics ask for purity and protection from worldly corruption, praising Christ with virtues, honour, praise, and glory to God the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. It is a fervent plea for spiritual strength and an affirmation of Trinitarian praise, suitable for services or concerts seeking profound sacred expression.
