Jesus Christus nostra salus by Thomas Stoltzer — Lyrics
Jesus Christus, nostra salus,
quod reclamat omnis malus,
nobis in sui memoriam
dedit in panis hostiam.
O quam sanctus panis iste,
tu solus es, Jesu Christe,
panis cibus sacramentum,
quo nunquam majus inventum.
Hoc donum suavitatis
caritasque deitatis,
virtus et eukaristia,
communionis gracia.
Ave deitatis forma,
Dei unitas norma,
in te quisque delectatur,
qui te fide speculatur.
Non est panis, sed es Deus
homo liberator reus,
qui in cruce pependisti
et in carne deficisti.

It extols the sanctity of this holy food, praising Jesus Christ as the ultimate sacrament and a gift of divine love and grace. The motet reflects on the mystery of Christ's presence in the Eucharist, affirming his divine nature and the transformative power of communion.
