Jesu, Son of Mary by Friedrich Filitz — Lyrics
Jesu, Son of Mary,
fount of life alone,
here we hail thee present
on thine altarthrone:
humbly we adore thee,
Lord of endless might,
in the mystic symbols
veiled from earthly sight.
Think, O Lord, in mercy
on the souls of those
who, in faith gone from us,
now in death repose.
Here ’mid stress and conflict
toils can never cease;
there, the warfare ended,
bid them rest in peace.

About Jesu, Son of Mary
This deeply devotional anthem is ideal for liturgical settings, particularly during communion services or times of remembrance. Friedrich Filitz's SATB setting of Jesu, Son of Mary offers a profound musical reflection on faith, adoration, and intercession. The English text, a prayer for the departed, eloquently expresses a choir's humble supplication for those who have passed, seeking divine mercy and eternal rest for them. The music aims to convey the solemnity of the occasion, inviting listeners to contemplate the mystery of Christ's presence and the solace found in spiritual devotion. It is a moving piece that encourages reflection and a sense of spiritual communion.
