[성음악] Adoro te Devote (성토마스아퀴나스 성체찬미가)

[호피]

Adoro te Devote
Esta pieza en su sencillez, es una pequeña perla preciosa de la Música Sagrada de nuestro tiempo.
Su melodía tiene el sello del Artista consumado, pero sobre todo, del Artista de fe profunda.
Es del Mtro Hermilio Hernández López, insigne músico mexicano formado en la mística del Músico al servicio de la Iglesia.
Cualquier Servicio Religioso Eucarístico tiene cabida para este canto, pero me parece que el Jueves Santo,
en la Misa de Institución de la Eucaristía, tiene su momento ideal.

LYRICS AND TRANSLATION:
IN LATIN:
Adoro te devote, latens Deitas, quae sub his figuris vere latitas: 
tibi se cor meum totum subiicit, quia te contemplans totum deficit.

Visus, tactus, gustus in te fallitur, sed auditu solo tuto creditur; 
credo quidquid dixit Dei Filius: nil hoc verbo Veritatis verius.

In cruce latebat sola Deitas, at hic latet simul et humanitas; 
ambo tamen credens atque confitens, peto quod petivit latro paenitens.

Plagas, sicut Thomas, non intueor; Deum tamen meum te confiteor; 
fac me tibi semper magis credere, in te spem habere, te diligere.

O memoriale mortis Domini! panis vivus, 
vitam praestans homini! praesta meae menti de te vivere et te illi semper dulce sapere. 

Pie pellicane, Iesu Domine, me immundum munda tuo sanguine; 
cuius una stilla salvum facere totum mundum quit ab omni scelere. 

Iesu, quem velatum nunc aspicio, oro fiat illud quod tam sitio; 
ut te revelata cernens facie, visu sim beatus tuae gloriae. Amen.

IN ENGLISH:
Hidden God, devoutly I adore Thee, truly present underneath these veils: 
all my heart subdues itself before Thee, since it all before Thee faints and fails.

Not to sight, or taste, or touch be credit hearing only do we trust secure; 
I believe, for God the Son has said it- Word of truth that ever shall endure.

On the cross was veiled Thy Godhead's splendor, here Thy manhood lies hidden too; 
unto both alike my faith I render, and, as sued the contrite thief, I sue.

Though I look not on Thy wounds with Thomas, Thee, my Lord, and Thee, my God, 
I call: make me more and more believe Thy promise, hope in Thee, and love Thee over all.

O memorial of my Savior dying, Living Bread, that gives life to man; make my soul, 
its life from Thee supplying, taste Thy sweetness, as on earth it can.

Deign, O Jesus, Pelican of heaven, me, a sinner, in Thy Blood to lave, 
to a single drop of which is given all the world from all its sin to save.

Contemplating, Lord, Thy hidden presence, grant me what I thirst for and implore, 
in the revelation of Thy essence to behold Thy glory evermore. Amen.
