Jesus, em mim habita by Charles Gounod — Lyrics
Ó céus, Jesus em mim habita!
Sinto em meu peito o seu pulsar
Como exprimir a minha dita!
Ó, Jesus, sim, quero te amar!
Quem, amor, poderá sondarte?
Unes com Deus o pecador.
Como assim podes humilharte?
Ó Rei dos Céus, ó meu Senhor.

About Jesus, em mim habita
Charles Gounod's sacred song Jesus, em mim habita is a heartfelt expression of devotion, suitable for services of reflection or personal spiritual contemplation. Set in Portuguese, this art song for unison voices offers a profound meditation on the presence of Jesus within the believer. The text speaks of the overwhelming joy and divine connection experienced, questioning the depth of God's love and humility in uniting with the sinner. It explores the transformative power of Christ's sacrifice and the ultimate hope of eternal union with Him in heaven, likening Jesus to the Bread of Life who can soothe mortal pains. The simple, direct melody allows the rich devotional text to take center stage, making it an accessible yet deeply moving piece for a choir or soloist.
