Membra Jesu nostri, BuxWV 75: VII. Ad Faciem(original) |
Concerto |
Illustra faciem tuam super servum tuum, |
salvum me fac in misericordia tua (Ps 31, 17) |
Aria (contralto, tenore e basso). |
Salve, caput cruentatum, |
totum spinis coronatum, |
conquassatum, vulneratum, |
arundine verberatum |
facie sputis illita |
Aria (contralto) |
Dum me mori est necesse, |
noli mihi tunc deesse, |
in tremenda mortis hora |
veni, Jesu, absque mora, |
tuere me et libera |
Aria (cinque voci) |
Cum me jubes emigrare, |
Jesu care, tunc appare, |
o amator amplectende, |
temet ipsum tunc ostende |
in cruce salutifera. |
Concerto |
Amen |
(translation) |
In concert |
Shine your face upon your servant |
save me in your mercy (Ps 31:17) |
Aria (contralto, tenor e basso). |
Hail, bloody head |
all crowned with thorns |
shaken, wounded |
beaten with a cane |
his face smeared with spittle |
Aria (alto) |
While I must die |
don't miss me then |
in the terrible hour of death |
come, Jesus, without delay |
protect me and my children |
Aria (five voices) |
When you order me to emigrate |
love Jesus, then appear |
oh lover embracing |
then show the fear itself |
in the salutary cross. |
In concert |
Amen |
