Bob Saul plays Vergin, tutto amor ("Virgin, All Love") by Francesco Durante; Su 12/22/24 (Advent IV)

“Vergin tutto amor” (translation: "Virgin, All Love") by Italian composer Francesco Durante is a prayer in song to the Virgin Mary. It has always been very popular with classical singers due to its religious fervor and melodic lyricism. It was originally composed as a song without words, known in its day as a solfeggio.
Virgin, fountain of love,
O mother, full of goodness,
O pious mother, pious mother,
Hear, sweet Mary,
the sinful man's call, the sinner's call.
May his weeping move you,
may his laments reach you,
may his sorrow and sadness
be heard by your merciful heart.
O Mother, full of goodness,
Virgin, fountain of love.
