Jesu mi bone sentiam

This motet by Samuel Friedrich Capricornus is a heartfelt plea for spiritual connection. Sung in Latin, its text expresses a longing to feel the abundance of Jesus’s love and to see His glory through His presence. The composer acknowledges that words may fail to adequately express devotion, yet the power of love inspires the singer to speak of Jesus and to rejoice in Him. This SSATB setting is ideal for services or concerts, particularly during periods of reflection and contemplation, offering a moment of intense, personal faith. Its devotional quality and rich vocal texture make it a compelling choice for a choir seeking to convey profound spiritual emotion.
