Jesu du Blum by Samuel Friedrich Capricornus — Lyrics
JEsu, du Blum und Jungfrau'n Sohn,
du Lieb und unser süsser Thron.
In dir mein Hertz hat seine Lust,
dein Lieb ergötzet meine Brust.
Auf dich ist all mein Ruhm gestellt,
JEsu du Heiland aller Welt.
Du Brunn aller Barmhertzigkeit,
dein Glantz erstreckt sich weit und breit,
die Nacht der Traurigkeit vertreib,

About Jesu du Blum
This sacred motet opens with the two soprano voices and the bass voice creating a rich, layered texture. The German text is a devotional meditation on Jesus, addressing him as the son of the Virgin, the object of the heart's delight, and the saviour of the world. It speaks of his mercy, the dispelling of sorrow by his light, and the peace he brings to the entire world. The music aims to reflect the deeply personal and heartfelt prayer of the lyrics, culminating in a fervent desire for this peace.
