Jesus no meu lar by Ir. M. M., Marista — Lyrics
Por muito tempo andei errando o bom caminho,
Qual pródigo infeliz, que longe se perdeu;
Mas vosso coração com paternal carinho
Na paz do seu perdão, de novo me acolheu!
Como outrora a Zaqueu, a mim também dissestes:
"Desejo me hospedar, neste dia em teu lar!"
Senhor, podeis chegar, e entre eflúvios celestes,
O meu lar pobre, humilde em céu vireis mudar! dar!
Sou mais feliz que os três apóstolos eleitos,
Que Vos puderam ver na glória do Tabor;
Pois hoje viram mais meus olhos satisfeitos;
Tornoume a Comunhão custódia do Senhor!

About Jesus no meu lar
This sacred song for SATB choir opens with a flowing, devotional melody, soon joined by rich harmonic support. The Portuguese text speaks of finding the right path after a period of wandering, likening the experience to the parable of the prodigal son. The composer, Ir. M. M., Marista, sets these words of penitence and joyful acceptance with tenderness. The music becomes particularly poignant when describing Jesus inviting himself to stay, transforming a humble home into a heavenly space. The final verses express a profound sense of contentment, finding greater happiness in receiving communion than even the apostles did witnessing Christ's transfiguration, as the singer now hosts the Lord within.
