Jesu nostra redemptio by Jan Le Febure — Lyrics
Jesu, nostra redemptio,
Amor et desiderium,
Deus creator omnium,
Homo in fine temporum.
Quae te vicit clementia,
Ut ferres nostra crimina,
Crudelem mortem patiens
Ut nos a morte tolleres!
Inferni claustra penetrans,
Tuos captivos redimens,

About Jesu nostra redemptio
The text of Jesu nostra redemptio is a Latin hymn of devotion, focusing on Jesus as our redemption, love, and desire. It speaks of His sacrifice, enduring a cruel death to save us from our sins and liberate captives from hell. The hymn envisions Christ, triumphant and seated at God's right hand, interceding for us. It prays that He will be our joy and eternal reward, in whom we find our glory forever. Jan Le Febure has set this profound text for SATB choir, creating a sacred offering suitable for the office.
